Great

Thunder Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (148)

Sick truck. Perfect complement for the TT crail deck I'm riding with the 14" wheel base. Pop is great, really lightweight compared to my ace classics. Not sure if I'd even want to go lighter, these feel perfect.

Thunder 147

Thunder Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (147)

Thunder trucks are in my opinion suited for tech type skateboarding. The pop is magic, makes the deck seem glued to your feet. Flip tricks are easier to catch with Thunders. Thunders lock into grinds better too. The only down side to 147s is that they are just under 50mm tall. I knew this when I purchased them. For bigger dudes, I either have to skate them super tight or with smaller wheels. For ledges, flat bars and hips these trucks are dope. When I go to spots where a looser/taller truck is needed I just run Venture 5.2 highs. If you are a tech ledge hound I dont think there's a better truck for that than Thunders.

Light, snappy, turns, nice grind

Thunder Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (147)

Tactics did great with shipping. I switched from team hollow 148s to these standard 147s and I stopped missing pops and started landing consistent tre flips again. Smooooth grind.

Can't go wrong with Thunders

Thunder Polished Skateboard Trucks - polished (148)

Classic thunder trucks. Good balance of heft and turning radius. Hard to beat! The 8.25" axle and up have a nice height to them which helps with pop leverage as well. Good stuff.

Asked by James on 5/3/2018

I have a 8.38" deck. What size would be best for this set up? 148's or 149's?

Answered by Graig A (Tactics Employee) on 5/3/2018

Either truck would work fine but the 149 will be closer to the width of your board and is what we would recommend unless you are considering sizing down below 8.25 on your deck size in the near future.
