Alright guys, need some tips!

I got these shitty china wide trucks and we all know those hard plastic bushings blow. After 10 or so tricks they are super loose and the nut on the kingpin is almost falling off, needless to say this is annoying as all hell.

Is there any household/local solutions to this? Would making your own jelly bracelet bushings help out? Can't get anything online right now cause my credit card is frozen.

If you like nice soft/lose trucks go with a nice fat piece of these.

How else would it get made Einstein? I posted on FHQ how it was made. To be honest, having a metal mold is no different from having a resin mold. My decks are consistent because I know how to make decks. Having a metal mold does not automatically make your decks consistent. What makes them consistent is be able to press, shape, and drill them consistently, which I could do with any mold.

k chill out, from your post it sounded like you hand shaped a metal mold, i dont see why whenever someone asks a question , you instantly flip shit. you should be happy that someone is taking in interest in it.

It's cool you are taking an interest, but why do you feel the need to be like a "s00per kewl detective" and tell everyone about how I make my decks. I use a metal mold, but that means very little. In the whole process of making a deck the mold plays a very small role.

Im not, i was complimenting on how good the shape is, sorry if it came off like that but if i was buying a deck, id like to know that it's 100% consistent all the way through. Which would probably encourage people to buy it, so people should know that there paying for quality, and not a wobbly shape. And you posted it on fb hq like 4 times, so its not really a secret. keep up the good work
