Known for being lightweight and durable, the Thunder Hollow Lights Skateboard Trucks reduce weight without sacrificing strength. With the same quick turn response, these trucks feature a hollow axle and kingpin with forged baseplates that provide more strength and impact resistance than cast baseplates. Sold as a set of two in multiple axle sizes.

Features
Axle/Kingpin Style
Hollow Axle & Kingpin - Hollow axle trucks cut down on the materials used in the axle, so your trucks feel lighter. Hollow kingpins further reduce weight while still maintaining strength in this critical area.
Baseplate Style
Forged - Forged baseplates are compression molded making them lighter, stronger, and more impact resistant compared to cast or poured-mold baseplates. Forging also eliminates the most common manufacturing defects and imperfections.
Non-Compatible Risers
Risers from the following brands are not compatible with the baseplates of these trucks.
Note - Every skate truck brand represents their sizing a little differently, so it's easy to get confused. Take a look at this graphic and then reference the size chart.
I skated from the mid-80's to the early 90's, and just started back almost a year ago. Back then, I never skated Thunders. Now, I have two sets and really like them. I usually don't pay too much attention to truck weight, because a few grams seems so negligible. But, these do feel lighter on my setup. At 16, I think all of my boards were probably heavy. We had big 60mm wheels, deck rails, and no light trucks. But when you're young, all is good. I could double kick flip those 10" boards like it was nothing. Now, at 51yo, it does help. I ended up using these trucks on Jackson Pilz 9.13 deck, and it's a perfect fit. That board feels noticeably lighter than all of my others. Coming back, I've skated brands that I skated back in the day...Venture(what I skated most back then) and Indy. But, I also have some Slappy Trucks. I really like how Thunders feel for wheelbase...it's a nice balance between Indy/Slappy and Venture. I also like the slightly lower truck height. Thunders are great!
