The Set-up Thread

$6 per bolt is what you pay if you’re the hoi polloi. Indy’s economy of scale would cut that dramatically, and they could of course raise the price of the trucks just as they do with the other gewgaws and gizmo trucks they put out.

Not to nitpick, but the washer design doesn't seem great. You can already see where it is digging into the bushing since it is a 90 degree angle. Stock washers for all brands have >90 deg angle to prevent this.

There is no washer on this "kingpin", it's what's known as a button head bolt. The top piece is a solid Ti disc with no recess.

The marks on the top bushing are from using Krux download kingpins: https://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?topic=108560.720

I'd avoid Krux downlow kingpins for the aforementioned reasons listed in that thread.

my first Roger and I'm digging it so far.  last 2 boards have been really tapered, almost football-ish, 8.0s.  Hope I can find more like these once this one wears out.

spade is a great shape, very very similar to Shin surf shape, just a tad less square. Love mine!

Welcome back. I also purchased my last decks in 1997 before coming back last year during the lockdown.

Damn let us know how a 14.5 wheelbase + thunders go

[LebowskisRug]

I think that’s a typo cuz that Quasi shape is 14.125 from what I see online. I’ve ridden it on Thunders myself and it still feels short.

Krooked 3.38
Thunder 149 Ti's with Ti kingpin and nuts
Spits conical slims F4's 52s
Bones Swiss 6
Miles grip
Ti 3/4" bolts and nuts

The Thunder 149 Ti's are lighter than my old Tensor Maglite ATG 8.75's. Not that it matters, just an observation because Tensor claimes their Maglites are 30% lighter than all other trucks. Tensor also claims they're guaranteed for life, but I reached out to them and it's been radio silence since I bent all four of my Maglite axels. They were fun trucks while they lasted though.

where did u get the titanium kingpins & nuts?

[close]

I bought them from the local redneck racecar shop, as it was cheaper than ordering online due to shipping. They're called jacob's ladder bolts and they offer an obscene amount of clearance. I believe they're used to fasten the driver's seat to the frame in sprint cars and dirt modifieds. They also sit flush with most conical top bushings:



The kingpin: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/Tru-Lite-Titanium-Seat-Bolt-3-8-24-Thread-x-2-Inch,34338.html
Kingpin nut: https://www.ebay.com/itm/252337219232
Hardware: https://www.ebay.com/itm/252367524883?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

The hardware also came with 20 titanium nuts, although they're not listed in the description. Blue Loctite needs to be used on the treads because there's no nyloc. They're obviously more expensive, but they should last years, so they will hopefully pay for themselves in the long run.

This is next level madness type shit. Setups on point though.

Saved the 55 Aces for this Blind board that took ages to get here. Worth the wait!! Thing is so much fun. Going from Thunders to Aces is a trip. And they sent the wrong length bolts. The Indy squishy risers are cool for this set up.

I actually made this graphic last year and my PO got mixed up with another order back in March, so I’m only just now getting these boards after element and hoops both had their peanuts inpired graphics.

Cheers. Its a more available, cheaper version of one of the Chico stix boards which I really wanted but taxes/important duties would have stung me bad. If I got one that is
