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 match the deck width. The skate truck is specified with either the hanger width or the truck width.
You can find the recommended Thunder trucks for your skate deck in this table.
| Truck size | Axle width (inch) | Deck width (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 143 | 7.125” | <7.4” |
| 145 | 7.62” | 7.4”-7.9” |
| 147 | 8.0” | 7.9”-8.12” |
| 148 | 8.25” | 8.12”-8.38” |
| 149 | 8.5” | 8.38”-8.62” |
| 151 | 8.75” | 8.62”-8.85” |
| 161 | 9.125” | 8.9”-9.5” |
| 181 | 10.0” | >9.5” |
Skate trucks worden apart verkocht. Voor een paar trucks kies er alsjeblieft twee.

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.
