Looks like Chicken is soon to be offering some custom Indy offsets :

I ordered one of these yesterday. I'll let you all know what I think (not that my opinion means a lot!). Chicken replied that the trucks would not be ready to ship until the middle of next week. I got two of the TTC's as soon as they were available, but the more I checked them out, the more I was convinced that the components didn't fit together quite right. I would have liked to have had Geezer-X make me an offset, he being a DC local, but he is so swamped with truck work that I didn't want to bog him down more. Theoretically, it seems that if one is going to make an offset (rear) truck it would be better to use an RTs than an RTx or Indy 101. But for 85 bucks, I'll give it a try.

I also ordered an Indy 101 offset from Chicken should arrive next week. I also have an Indy 101 that was offset by Geezer-x it is very burly and strong looking and it grips the road very well. I am sending Geezer-x an RT-S to be offset by him it is much cheaper than buying the Red Tracker offset version. Eddy Texas Outlaw Martinez.

I have both the RTX and RTS offsets from Tracker. From looking at the pics on the PP site, the work on those offsests seem better the the Trackers. First off is the extension on the cnc`d swing arm tab looks like a great idea. Also, the inside of the offsets looks better configured that the welding of the bolt on the Tracker. And lastly, it looks like a standard nut and threading on the axle. Can someone confirm this? Is it a standard axle or is it 8mm?

Basically I spent an extra $45 per truck for the red plating. And that damn small nut bothers me.

Will the PP offset fit in a RTX or RTS baseplate?

Still, the Tracker offsets perform well. And the red plating does have a racy look to it.

It`s just those damn little nuts..heh heh !!!

Brady,
The axles are 8mm and it's a standard axle nut. No funny little nuts here!

Any tips on bushing for the offset? I have a green stim on the bottm and a superball on top right now. It feels pretty good but I wondering what others are riding. Thanks.

Just got them from Mr Carrasco during the PSWC II : an offset and a 8mm straight axle... it totally rocks, you're a looser if you don't have these!
manufacturing is top , they look really good too, no more wobble , the grip is insane...

last night an offset saved my life

The Chicken Indy 88 offset on my 17.5" wheelbase TS is dewedged about 11 degrees. I run it with trimmed hard (blue) stims top & bottom.
