Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I choose the right Thunder truck size for my deck?
Thunder uses its own very clear sizing system. The 143 model is designed for narrower decks under 7.4 inches, making it a good choice for junior skateboards. Size 145 fits decks from 7.4 to 7.9 inches best, while the most popular market standard, 147, is ideal for decks from 7.9 to 8.12 inches wide.
What makes the Thunder Polished series stand out?
The Polished series is the most classic and raw version of trucks from this manufacturer’s range. It features a clean polished aluminum finish with no additional paint. Thanks to this, these trucks not only look aesthetic and match any deck graphic, but also age naturally and slide amazingly over obstacles without getting blocked by a paint layer.
Are Thunder trucks lightweight?
Yes, the brand has built its solid reputation for years on producing extremely lightweight yet durable trucks. Even standard Polished versions are designed to minimize weight without sacrificing strength. For people looking for even lighter solutions, the brand offers versions with hollow axles and kingpins (Hollow) as well as titanium elements (Titanium).
Can I buy spare parts for Thunder trucks?
Definitely yes. Trucks are a component that naturally wears down during heavy use, which is why our offer also includes small service parts. One example is a dedicated kingpin nut, which is worth keeping as a spare, especially if you skate aggressively and often do tricks that can damage the thread.
What is the turning feel of these trucks?
Thunder trucks are widely known for their so-called Lightning Quick Response. This means a very fast and precise reaction to body balance. Unlike trucks with a slower, more laid-back feel, Thunder allows dynamic maneuvering and dodging obstacles, which is highly valued during technical street skating.
