mgp vs. mgp forged.

[Jossy]

i am buying a mgp deck and i have the choice of welded headtube or forged headtube. p.s they are both used. which is best?

 

[BrentBourne]

Forged would probably be best, but some say that welded ones are best, mine lasted me 7 months until it finally broke and now iv'e got a forged one and it feels exactly the same, weight wise and trick wise.

 

[MaTt.OnE]

well oviosly the forged would be best
woo mgp ftw!

What's more likely to break, something welded together or something that is solid?

 

[Michael Rankin]

Forged hands down

 

[tarrymonz]

go for the forged one
but as a wise scooter rider once said
a mgp deck with good welds is stronger than the forged.
the forged snaps at the bottom on the reo plate. bad weld placement is all

go for the forged to be safe though

 

[nitroRCs]

Yeah, the forged seems a lot better. Because, coulnt how many people broke the welded one and how many have broken the forged. A big difference.

 

[michaelchavez]

forged, less likely to crack

how do you tell if the welds are good?
