swapping baseplates
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?Doug Kadzban wrote: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.

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

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?
