Yep. Secondhand set up. Took off pad and re gripped.  The plastic one has mini aces (00) on which make that board super fun.

Oh that’s sick. I never thought of replacing trucks on those plastic completes. I bet it is an incredible improvement that makes those a lot more fun. My kids’ first skateboards were those cheap plastic completes that they were riding since walking or maybe before but not touched in years.

Its actually a diamond supply version of a plastic board. So it came with aces. I paid $20 nz for it . So super cheap and its top quality.
Oh, cool. The deck looks exactly the same, down to the molding in the center and the tail. But yours definitely has better trucks and I assume wheels and bearings too. Is it also molded pattern on top for grip?

Thanks, I’ve never really skated Thunders so this will be fun. The Heritage On Video boards are DSM so it’s just like skating an Enjoi. Also swapped my Shortys bolts for some Girl long neck hardware. Little bit of MJ everywhere on there.

Yeah similar mold but better quality  plastic. Bearings are top of the range diamond and wheels are fast.  Diamond lumps on top but I chucked some grip scraps on it to make it rain/puddle  friendly.
