Following up on the Tensor MagLight baseplate discrepancies - Never got a reply back on IG so I decided to email them. Below is the email thread. Not entirely sure what to make of it, I guess they are putting the wrong baseplate on at the factory regularly? It can't be a mixup at the skateshop.

Hey Tensor fam, I have a question about the MagLight trucks and hoping you can clarify.
Some of the baseplates say Magnesium on the bottom and are lighter (weigh around 75g with kingpin) and some don't say Magnesium and weigh around 100g with the kingpin. Both are MagLight trucks.
Are these new vs old models or concurrent different models?
I tried reaching out on Instagram a few times but had no luck in getting a response. Would appreciate your help.
Thank you so much.

Hi,
If they do not say Mag or Magnesium on them, then they are not mag lights trucks. They are the aluminum alloy trucks.
Let us know if you have any other questions.

Hi - I think I can clarify further.
As I mentioned in my original email both sets of trucks are indeed labeled MagLight. They are certainly not aluminum alloy trucks.
I'm asking specifically about the "Magnesium" labeling on the bottom of the baseplate. One set of MagLights has this labeling on the baseplate and is about 1/4 (25g) lighter than the baseplate from other set of trucks also labeled MagLight.
I have uploaded pictures of both sets of MagLights to imgur to better illustrate my question.

Hi Lew,
All of our mag light's will have the magnesium stamp on them. From the photo and the weight descriptions, it sounds like it might have been a simple mix up either at the factory or at a skate shop.
We hope that answers your question!
Have a great day!
