Royal 4
Raw / Black 5.0 "After almost three years of fine-tuning, I obtained the geometry necessary to combine the feel of a low truck with the perfomance of a high. The Royal 4 gives you the best of both worlds - the quick pop and response of a low, with enough height to reduce wheel bite, all while maintaining the classic look. I'm sure I could use a lot of technical words that nobody really cares about, but instead let's just say they're ready for a good time. Plus, I'm a really picky bastard, so take my word for it".-Mike Carroll

Skateboard Truck Glossary | |
---|---|
Axle: The steel rod that goes through the hanger, to which the wheels and are attached to. Barrel: The metal that surrounds the axle. A bigger barrel is more durable for grinds. Baseplate: The bottom half of the truck which gets mounted to the board. Bushings (or cushions): The urethane rings that go around the kingpin. Buttonhead kingpin: A lighter alternative to the hexhead kingpin. Must be knurled to prevent spinning in the baseplate. Centre Mounting Pattern: After the mounting pattern went from old school to new school, some truck manufacturers repositioned the hole pattern so that it is perfectly centred on the baseplate. Thunder and Destructo, for example. Cupwashers: These are metal caps that go on the top and the bottom of your bushings to protect them. Some trucks do not use a bottom cupwasher, it's built into the design of the baseplate. Hanger (or hangar): The top half of the truck which houses the axle, separate from the baseplate. Kingpin: The large bolt which you can adjust to determine the tension on your bushings which affects how your truck will ride, loose or tight. Geometry: Each truck has it's own design so they will turn and respond differently, known as it's geometry. Grade 8: The strength rating of the kingpin. Grade 8 is the strongest, practically speaking. New School Mounting Pattern: This is the modern mounting pattern on decks. where the rear holes of the truck have been moved in to prevent wear on the mounting bolts from noseslides and tailslides. No-slip axles: The hanger is cast with the axle in place. This prevents the axle from shifting if there is excessive impact on it. Old school mounting pattern: This is the original mounting pattern used on boards before 1991. Pivot: This is the stem of the hanger that goes into the baseplate, into the pivot cup. Pivot cup: The pivot cup is made of urethane and houses the pivot Profile (high, low, mid): The overall height of the truck axle. There is no set standard, it is up to each manufacturer to set the height of their trucks. A higher truck allows more wheel clearance and a deeper turn, a lower truck decreases the board's centre of gravity. |
