Sauce?

Guess there's hope for a Low in 8.25 and above if they are changing up the product lineup.

Posting over here from the truck set up thread

Low bushings working pretty damn well on inverted kingpins .

Psyched on this set up at the moment

Cast baseplate 5.2 low
Venture Hollow 5.2 axel
Inverted kingpin
Venture low bushings

Crazy turn radius for low trucks . This is the loosest I’ve ever ridden my trucks and it’s been really fun. Fucking with my flat ground tricks a little but getting used to it this past week.

Can someone give me the tldr of why so many prefer the cast plates over the forged so much?

Can someone give me the tldr of why so many prefer the cast plates over the forged so much?

The arguments in favor of cast venture plates include (1) 1.5 mm taller (resulting in 53.5 mm for the standard variants), (2)  less wheelbase extension with the casts - though I forget the exact figures, and (3) forged plates have a different ride quality...to some, they feel more "tinny" and rattle more underfoot.  Ultimately, it is one more thing for us to split hairs about.  Both forged and cast are good options. You would be fine with either, but you know how this board works (not excluding myself from the madness by any means).

I definitely prefer a little more height over a little less weight, when it comes to any brand baseplates, but I know some people are a lot more particular about having the lightest setup they can, some even having the lowest setup they can as well.

[Idk]

I like the lower height of the forged ones.

I agree with Idk above me about the lower height being a benefit, but I'm one of those people that can't stand forged plates. IIRC for Venture forged plates add somewhere between 3.4-3.5 to the overall WB and cast plates add 3.25.

Thanks, was not aware of the wheel base differences. I'm an idiot but wouldn't the extension of the forged base plate combined with the lower height result in a similar pop feel to the higher but shorter wheelbase cast plates? The forged would just be lighter and lower overall (but with tinny feeling too)?

Idk but the forged plates are working out okay for me right now. Might just stick to them to keep myself from going further insane.

Cast - + 3.25"
Forged - + 3.5"

Forged do feel more rattle-y during the ride and lowered height gives a better pinch on grinds.

Doesn’t look like there will be a 6.1 in the team hollow version according to that screenshot. Bummer. On the forged vs cast debate, this may seem counter intuitive but I prefer risers on forged plates for some reason. Kinda into the tinny feel and seems to put it at the perfect height.

If you're a truck hoarder (like I assume most of us are) you've probably already done this combination of axle and baseplate, allows Venture to pair better with most deck shapes (+14.25" and above) with the pinch and slide that we've come to love.

Price wise I'm guessing $65? Yuto's latest model is around that range.

cast look better…you used to be able to hammer out the kingpin, height….I’m accepting of the forged high….

No you're on point and I've seen plenty of people here believe this compensation is true for all forged baseplates whether it be Indy, Venture, of Thunder. I don't think this necessarily works in practice though. Could just be in my head, who knows. One thing I believe to be true after watching Ben Degros vids is that a truck can be too light so maybe the slight extra heft from the cast plates is something I personally favor.

[j....soy.....]

What about Rodney dropping bb’s into his baseplates!  Spin weight!…

yeah, spot on with that. idk why i had it in my head that raws were more pricy than polished, so thanks for making me double check lol
and speaking of raws, i don't think i've seen anyone talk about or post a pic of them. anyone have strong feelings either way?

He only had to do that because he’s asleep on some kook trucks.

[tzhangdox]

Around late January my friend was also supposed to be doing a venture graphic and I asked him to ask if they could do on a cast hollow combo. He later told me they agreed and also decided to do it on the Kader truck

You're welcome lol

Heard a little rumor that venture might adjust where their baseplate holes are drilled to make installation easier and bring in the WB a bit. Essentially sliding them up. Not 100% sure on the validity or when it would be though.

I’ve taken screenshots of Kostons board, and it looks like this is what he does

Can I put venture low hanger from a 5.2 on a forged baseplate from a venture 5.2 high? Will it be compatible?

My biggest complaint about Venture is that the front holes in the baseplate are too far back. The hanger gets in the way so you can't use a traditional skate tool. I gotta have a separate 3/8" wrench just for the front two bolts. Pain in the ass, but that's the price you gotta pay to be <AWAKE>

get the ace tool or a spitfire metal tool, they're thinner than a regular t-tool and fit ventures

Silver tool….only the best….
