Overview

Features
Baseplate Style
  • Forged
Axle/Kingpin Style
  • Hollow Kingpin
Quantity
  • Set of 2 Trucks
Origin
  • Made in the USA
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.

Axle/Kingpin Style

Hollow Kingpin - Lightening the load, hollow kingpins reduce weight for lighter feeling trucks, while still maintaining strength in this critical area.

Origin

Made in the USA - Made in San Francisco, California

Non-Compatible Risers

Risers from the following brands are not compatible with the baseplates of these trucks.

Arbor, Diamond, Dooks, Girl, Independent, Loaded, Paris, Rayne, Sector 9
Sizing Reference

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.

Thunder Lights Skateboard Trucks - polished lights ii (149)
Switched to these from 144 Indy stage 11s and won’t be going back. Love the way the lower profile pops and having a wider truck at less weight.

Sweet ride, sweet colors. Lightweight but feel super durable. I don't get the feeling I'll be needing a replacement pair soon.

Thunder Lights Skateboard Trucks - crossfade yellow/green (148)
They stick sometimes but other than that I actually like them better than ccp trucks. Feels like I get higher with less effort. Either way my dollars will never go to the china communist party for trucks again.

Asked by Andreas on 5/3/2017
What wheel size you recommend ?
Answered by Graig A (Tactics Employee) on 5/3/2017
Wheel size would be personal preference but most people stick around 53-55mm wheels. If you go any large we would recommend a riser pad

Asked by Sands on 2/25/2017
It says "non-compatible risers" and under it says "girl" as one. Does this mean these trucks will not fit a "Girl" deck?
Answered by Danny M (Tactics Employee) on 2/27/2017
This just means that risers from those companies will not be compatible with those trucks. The trucks will work on a Girl deck, just not Girl risers.

Asked by Joe MFS on 6/15/2016
I'm a long term Thunder lover, I'm after the lightest weight, low trucks you make for my 8 inch deck.
Answered by Elijah W (Tactics Employee) on 6/20/2016
Then your best bet is the Hollow Lights in the 145(lo)
