The American Company Thunder makes state-of-the-art trucks for demanding skaters since the mid-80s. With the Team Hollow Light Polished Truck, Thunder presents a particularly lightweight, extremely stable truck with the best steering. In addition, they are 1mm higher than standard Thunder trucks.
The hollow design of the axle pin and kingpin make each truck significantly lighter than any standard truck available. This is noticeable especially with Flip Tricks because you can save a lot of energy due to the reduced weight.
The width of the trucks should roughly match the deck. The truck size either specifies the width of the truck itself (axle width) or the width of its hanger.
Check this table to find the recommended Thunder trucks for your skate deck.
| Truck Size (mm) | Truck Width (inch) | Board Width (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 143 | 7,125" | up to 7,6" |
| 145 | 7,62" | 7,4" - 7,9" |
| 147 | 8,0" | 7,9" - 8,2" |
| 149 | 8,5" | 8,2" - 8,4" |
| 151 | 8,75" | 8,4" and larger |
We sell skateboard trucks separately. For a complete set you need two trucks.

Thunder Trucks have been on the market for quite some time and they never fail to impress. With super lightweight and durable trucks, it's no wonder they are the top pick of many of the biggest names in skateboarding.
