Radikal bushings are indeed 9/16" high, with an OD of 1 1/8".My understanding is that the Radikal bushings have an exact heigth of 9/16". Could anyone here tell us the OD measurement of the Radikal bushings?
Release date for Radikal Trucks?

Hunter,
The trucks I sent you should be pretty damn good at your weight with the blue G*Truck bushings for a front truck, and the white Tracker bushing I trimmed down to fix for the rear. For starters at least.
I do have a feeling that the Radikal urethane would be even better though than even that stock blue G*Truck bushings which are better than the clear Bones Blues in rebound. I've put trimmed down Stimulator bushings in my G*Trucks and it just makes them come alive, and Radikal bushing have the same type high-rebound urethane, maybe better.
But there is the possiblilty that the Radikal bushings might have a larger Outside Diameter than would fit the hanger bushing cups and the bushing cup on the baseplate of the G*Truck. This is easy to trim down if you have the right tools, a bench grinder and a drill is best/quickest I think.
But just so you know the bushing cups on those G*Trucks for the baseplate and hanger are smaller than either Tracker or Indy, the stock G*Truck bushing has a smaller OD than most. And most other bushings I've tried need a slight trim. My guess is that you'd need to trim Radikal bushings to fit.

Hey Mark, I've been trying to send emails to you at mccreearch@msn.com since Worlds. Even sent one to the other address I found on your website (mike@rei-usa.com). No responses. Either your msn account is chucking my mail in the spam bucket, or I am not welcome in your "club". I know Evans has a set so I think you are just missing my emails. Get in touch with me. I want to get hooked up. Thanks.

Mark,
I didn't know about your offer when I saw you in St. Louis. If I'm not too late, I'd love to try them! (Even if I am too late, I'd love to try them, but you get my point, right?)
And here's an interesting hypothetical: If I'd been riding Radikals, would you have still beaten me by .05 seconds? Next time, you're goin' down, bruddah! :razz:

Tway, I'm suprised youre even up now. Must be a good cartoon on the tube. The Dark Side is a former shell of itself. Anyway Mark MCCree is a straight shooter and can take constructive criticism just fine. Were all friends right?
MArk, if you are refering to our semifinal race in the pro TS course in Maryland. I KNOW you were working hard and so was I. .5 sec is a lot of time to make up! I was sweatin it for sure.

TK, We are going to offer a 25 deg. plate also. If you want one- I'll get you one any time.
Bobby Mandarino wants it. I thing the darn thing tracks and works so good on the rear, that you can de-angle it and tighten it down and pump speed like hell AND be able to turn. I havn't run the set up yet. He had wedge pads.

Mark,
It has been a while since we have heard from you on the subject of Radikal Trucks. Can you answer a couple of questions for us?
Question #1. Can you tell us the release date for your newest version of Radikal Trucks?
Question #2. Will there be separate back and front truck configurations and can these be purchased seperately?
Question #3. Approximate pricing?
Thanks for supporting the slalom skateboarding community with your truck offerings...
