The newer baseplates hold the kingpins better. I swapped my kingpins out for OG nos Ti-Lite kingpins. Your average replacement bushings fit Slappys...and I'm hooked on Slappys now and all other trucks are dead to me.
yeah they actually work really well. I haven't had any wheel bite since putting them on and can still skate fairly loose. Unlike riser pads where it just makes the distance between the wheels and the wood farther apart, these actually stop the trucks from hitting the board completely. Id recommend the teflon for the loose kingpin, a few wraps for me and it has moved at all since 👍
Great review!
Neeeeed an update on the death savers
How did you order the death savers? I can't figure out where it says to order on their site. Also, how are they working? Holding up?
@@KDP2009 you may have to email them! but they're holding up fairly well, i'll probably do another video on just them specifically 🙏

Independent and Venture metal feels almost extremely different, one grinds smoothly while the other more hard and almost chunky
Just ordered a set🤙🏼😎
Do the wheel bite stoppers help? One of the only problems these trucks have. That and the kingpin getting loose..

You need more skate clips in this video.
definitely agree! gonna invest in a better tripod to actually get clips with 👍
