Whoever has used the Krux kingpins in Thunder teams, do you find the Krux bushings allow the truck to turn the same as if it were stock? Or does it mellow out the turn? I want to make sure they turn as close to Ace as possible, so if I gotta use thunder bushings with the Krux pin I will, just wanna make sure it’ll all fit proper.
I tried thunders with barrels twice, it sucked (once with Krux pins).
Thunders will never turn 'as close as possible' to ACEs. If you want thunders to get turny, keep the bottom stock and sand down the top busing or throw in a soft, lo bushing or throw in bones softs and get ready for wheelbite!
I put the krux k/p's in my thunder w. Thunder bushings and they felt like thunders....
I've got the krux k/p's in my ACEs with Indy bushings and they feel like ACES with Indy bushings...
Maybe Theeves are the closest turn to an ACE?
Krux pins in Cast thunder plates were fine for me, with conical bushings, with barrels they just lost their thunder.
Now that Ace perfected their bushings for their truck (I've tried them in: ML, Thunder, Venture, Indy, Theeve and ACE); they work the best in ACE, hands down; great in indy (better than indy bushings) and great in ML (ML stocks are pretty hard if you get the white bushings, they're 94d). I did not like them in Ventures, thunders or theeves.
Theeves are the closest you'll get to ACE for sure, with the right conicals.
Currently riding Ventures with Bones softs top and bottom.
