| Dump Trucks are just Mike Schneiders way of re-selling China wides with his own brand name. If you want to buy some trucks just go to www.railcityfb.com and purchase some of their standard 29mm wides and what I'm sure of is that it comes with 4 rubber/viton bushings to be tuned on your trucks. Or if you want to go with higher quality, purchase some Kingpin trucks there the shape of bollie trucks but in chrome with kingpin tuning,bushings and bearing screws. www.railcityfb.com |

www.railcityfb.com All the Rail City trucks are china aswell, so are the Kingpin trucks. There is about 5 choices of trucks today. - BRT's. Professional trucks, quite expensive. - Ytrucks. Professional trucks, expensive aswell. - Woody's. Professional trucks from Indonesia, hard to get. - Close Up. Chinese produced trucks with a professional design. Quite cheap. - China trucks. Massproduced in china and resold by a lot of companies/shops. Cheap as fuck. I'd recommend getting your china wides from either The Lovedrug Store or Fingersized as these are the cheapest places i have seen. And yes, these are the same china trucks as every other company sell. That includes: 4corner Rail City Star Fingerboards Flatface Aphlikshun Fusion etc. |

Or you could support a fingerboarding company that gives back to the scene? I would highly reccomend against buying from Vachina... Get them off Flatface if you must or at least another store that you know is going to be giving back to the scene and not just trying to make money off of you. |

Fingersized actually arent the cheapest if you live in US. The pricing for them is rediculous and ends up being over $7 for the trucks. But if in UK then yes you are correct. And 4CFB is actually a really good company and have been around for a few years. |

And 4CFB is actually a really good company and have been around for a few years. I hate to self advertise, but if you buy a set of wides from me they are like $2.5 and the same is shipping, so thats cheaper than 4c. And no 4c is not giving back to the scene. They sell mass produced chinese products for a huge profit. I have nothing against the products, its's the people that rebrand them and sell them for 20 times their price that are bad. |
