For my next deck I'm cop the Mason Silva full SE. I reckon that will make these 5.2s really come alive.

It's 8.06 x 31.5 with 14 WB

I've had mixed success with short boards and Ventures, especially the forged plates. The tail became way too short and I could not get my board to snap against the ground. Discounting the fact it was a dwindle board, the setup just wasn't working for me at that length.
Venture Truck Height:

5.0 & 5.2 LO
STANDARD - 1.88” - 47.75mm
FORGED - 1.85”- 46.99mm

5.0 ,5.2, 5.6, 5.8 & 6.1 HI
STANDARD - 2.09” - 53.09mm
FORGED - 2.04” - 51.82m

shorter wb helps tre flips in a big way, lower trucks do too but the wb makes more of a difference i find

Defo does. Just had my first flat ground sesh on these. Love them already. So much more stable. From the first pop shove I knew it was on. They turn pretty dam good for first session too. Does the worrest model have different bushings maybe? These are clear yellow.
I just got 6.1 polished and they have clear yellow, my 5.8 worrest's had red. I'm fairly certain that they are all the same durometer if that helps any.

I was going to mention this, I love the 8 inch full se but I think the cast ventures are the absolute furthest I could push it with that short of a board. Thankfully the tail is a decent length for that deck length. I think it’s 6.5?

I wish they'd make the 8.18 Full SE again, but with a 14.25" WB (it's 14.38).

I set them up on an old Ollie Todd Palace deck today.
 
Width 7.75”
Length 31.25”
Wheelbase 13.8”

They work so well. Kickflips and tre flips are a dream. I don't know what is affecting the difference from the megenta 14.25wb but they handle even better

Does anyone here ride their Ventures rattly loose?  If so, what bushing combination are you on?  I rode independents for a long time and always had a bones medium on the bottom and Indy low bushing on the top so I could keep them real loose without losing the kingpin nut but that combination doesn’t seem to work as well with Ventures.  I had a problem with the pivot cup being super tight too but fixed that by sanding out the pivot cups a bit.

Wow that board is looking tiny, makes me miss my 7.5 days.

I rode mine rattle loose and had them come apart while cruising down the street before. I think the stock bushings, they start out very hard but by the end of the 1st or 2nd session they soften enough where I could ride my trucks loose enough with the nut catching without worrying about the truck flying apart.

Appreciate it dude, I’m gonna give the stock bushings another session and see how they go.  Maybe sand down the top bushing a little bit and see if that gives me a little more room for rattling without messing up the geometry.

Finally got them pretty dialed in this afternoon.  I switched out the bottom bushing for a bones medium, sanded just a tiny bit off the stock top bushings and then switched the top washer for a bones washer.  The rounded washers would just bang up against the hanger.  It’ll take some getting used to but I feel a little more at home now.  Thank you though.

Going to grab the ti 5.6 this weekend. Haven’t been able to find the non prod ones though which is a little of a bummer since I generally don’t like any logos on my hangar. That being said I probably will be too lazy to remove it

I own the 5.6 Prods, logo comes off with little effort (and FWIW, you can hardly see it). I used a bit of steel wool and elbow grease, came right off.

Oh thanks, I’ll Deff see if it bothers me. As much as I hate new hangars I like the idea of dropping a little weight for these long summer sessions

What do you guys think is the absolute biggest wheel rideable on a venture 5.2 low truck?
I usually go 52mm, is there a chance of wheelbite?
