Do some Thunder Team models have more / less grind clearance than others? I am on my 2nd set and it feels like my first set was slightly less meaty. They are both 148s.
One difference is first set is raw finish where the 2nd is polished. Doesn’t look like much from the picture but they seem slightly beefier to me. Wish I would have weighed them first
I would think not, but it is much the same as when people get new bushings / new trucks, so to compare them to the older ones, things just feel different and look different, or even skate different as well.
Going back many years, I had some raw versions that did skate differently to the polished trucks, but as to the mold being any different, I don't think so, but who knows?!?
There can definitely be differences in bushings, so even to have the nut down half a turn more, you would have better clearance than the kingpin nut up and off a bit - clearance being the main thing I notice a lot on Thunder trucks, compared to some others, like Venture stock, or Indy after I have cut down the kingpin a bit.
Some good wear on the old set there too!!
