for TS, how would an RTS hanger work on a dart/sixtrack baseplate, provided i swap out the kingpin with a grade8? the thing i like with the dart plate is the cast-in bushing seat, as opposed to the flat washer that comes on the RTS.

also, what is the advantage of having the washer instead of a cast-in bushing seat on RTS trucks?

More tuning possibilites: you can use the big cup washer, different O.D. flat washers, or no washer at all. Combined with different bushing shapes and duros makes for endless tuning fun!

oh...wow, that makes sense
i think i swapped out the cupped washer with a flat washer...but, the cupped washer would restrict the bushing a bit, right? and make it a little less turny?
