Great idea in concept, but at $130-150, you could buy a precision truck.
Bennett is a great truck for the money. If I were to spend that kind of cash on a truck, I'd get something with a spherical. |

| If someone was extra handy and wanted to do bennett mods, i would prefer a ball pivot and spherical in the hangar. I think you could sell it for about $60 and it would be more precise and deeper turning while still being usable on any baseplate without any special mods. You could upgrade the pin to a grade 8 with minimal threading and probably get buyers at $75 per truck. |

| I think Karrot does something like that, not sure what he charges for them. |

I'm quite excited about these, as soon as I get confirmation that there's a hex on the bottom for KP capture, I'm in.

| It's actually the angle of a Bennett wedged 5 degrees. Attractive price, though. |

| So, its 5 degrees of wedging and easier to change KP? Any other features? I guess i dont really understand. |

It's actually the 20* or 25* that I'm interested in, that's +10 or +15 built in wedge when compared to the stocker. The bigger issue is the KP capture though. I really like an inverted KP with a shoulder that extends into the BP but the whole JB Weld business is a pain. Combine this BP with a spherical modified hanger and I'm set, until those Virages make it out anyway.
