These look awesome i heard there was a set being tested and i couldnt wait to see what you would come up with. This is a great idea as far as a downhill truck goes, keep the price down but still offer maximum stability and a precision truck. Will there be an adjustable base plate coming out to go with the hanger? Do they fit on existing G.O.G baseplates?

My finger slipped and it seems I just ordered at set of those hangers... :)

It look like it have enough of a bushing seat so it can be used without a spherical or urethane plug, anyone tried that?
