Anybody know the angle that an RT-S turns at? Furthermore, has anybody had sucess in running an RT-S up front? I've got an RT-S laying around that I was thinking about slapping onto my new GS board but didn't want to fuss with the bolts and what not if it wasn't going to be decent.

I really had success on this kind of truck combination:



B2 hanger on RT-S baseplate.

Is the B2 hanger just for width or is the pivot shaped different from the RT-S?

Hm...width is actually the same (106mm). I put it on because it turns smoother and easier like I feel. The Pivot is slighly thinner/shorter but it works when you put the right bushings (and some lather into the pivot cup) in.

I really need some help with this one:

Current set-up:
Ick Custom deck, right between the Mini-Carrera and Carrera as size goes, 17 1/8" WB.

Front truck is an RT-S 106mm, single wedged, just like the above photo in Ramons post.
Rear Truck is a Dart with a 106mm hanger pulled from an RT-S, a single 1/4" flat riser.
White Khiro's in the front truck and Blue Khiro's in the rear. 70mm Zig-Zags.

I got this set-up info from a few of the local guys who are running Axe's and haven't ben able to garner any info from another fellow Ick rider.

This feels great in the front as far as turn in and predictability but the rear feels like it's trying too hard to steer instead of following.

I probably should just go with the RT-X/S set-up 'cause I know it's designed to work and after reading all the testing posts here and all the other comments I think I know what to do. I'm just not sure. If this sounds correct let me know.

For TS--RT-X/S, wedged front, neutral rear
For GS--RT-S/S, wedged front, neutral rear

Any help is appreciated.[/list][/i]

Dewedging your rear truck (5-11°) might help - try it out.
