Well, it looks like I'm the first to bring Navigotor trucks up to the table, as they now appear as a truck option through CCS, and looked them up at their website. If anyone has read my comment on inverted kingpins, they''l know I'm against the idea, simply because it's a flawed idea, but "could" be rectified if the inverted companies out there took notice. Also, of note, they are the first company to patent a ridiculously simple, yet incredibly easy and strong way to totally eliminating axle slippage- by pinning them into the hangar! While they look like the most unconventional truck out there, like a Cracker Jack'ish hodge'podge of a Grind King and a Phantom, they boast some nodable credit to what they offer. They're T6 heat-treated, have pinned axles (non-slip), are shaved of excess weight, and have a huge amount of grindable hangar and loads of kingpin clearance/which are of Grade 8. They seem to have "aided" the problem of stubborn inverted kingpin tolerances by adding an unusual washer/nut/plate thing below the kingpin's nut inside the baseplate, which lloks like it might also eliminate the bottoming out some experience with GK's, where the end of the inverted pin actually punches a press into the bottom of the board. I'd VERY MUCH like to have people comment on these guys. Their newest re-vamp was started just this last October. Wonder how they perform?!
