Got an email about these a couple days ago. Couldn't find any information on them and shrugged them off. Thank you for posting this. I think I'm gonna pick up a pair. Gnarly skate session. You're killing it
Okay I’m sold, it’s the ultra low looking kingpin and no wheelbite for me. You know I like it loose as a goose and love my Slappy feebles. Thanks dad board! (Auto corrected to sad bird lol)
Looks like a combination of Independent baseplate, Ace hanger, and Krux kingpin. It was nice that you provided the weight of the truck. An axle height would have been nice. Looking forward to the more in depth review
Thanks for this initial review. Looking forward to the follow up. Seems like it was what Drew said below. A combo of what some of the current truck companies offer.
Hey bro, subbed from Chico here...44 year old skater got back on the board in 2017. Wanted to compliment you on the Miles Davis Bitches Brew hat, that is my favorite album of all time...never saw a hat like that! Mad respect from Chico 🙌
I completely agree that they feel like the offspring of an Indy and Ace. I bought the nine inchers and I think they're significantly lighter than my classic 55s. I freaking love em!
this truck is what i thought the indy mids would be when they came out, still skating my pair and yes it had the iron cross on it so I guess it mustve been an early batch. Too heavy and i cant tighten them enough with the stock bushings for my weight (200lbs+) and my bones bushing switching days are over. These look amazing however ive learned my lesson and will wait until they release either the 2nd or hollow version. Thanks for the review!
about to go skate mine, just feel like a the ST1 just feels like a High AF1. indy standard height but AF1 turn. feel like im about to get hella wheel bite.
Just got my Slappy Trucks. I didn't go with the hollows because i am putting them on a purposely built slappy board. They didn't habe the inverted king pin in the size i needed ar the local shop but there is still a lot of clearance. I built the board last month but have been traveling for work. So next weekend will be the first ride.
Hey, just discovered your channel and am really enjoying the content. Now that you've been on the Slappys for a bit, how about a quick update? I'm on Ace classics and while I love many things about them, there are some issues and I'm still searching for the perfect truck. Thanks!
Thanks for checking out the channel! Been having really crazy weather the past 6 weeks so the review on slappies has been on hold. Spoiler: If you’re looking for new trucks soon I highly recommend them.
It looked like they were very tall. Even if you didn't have the inverted kingpin, it looked like there was a lot of kingpin clearance. Indys are already tall and when comparing side by side they looked a lot taller than Indys. I can't stand low personally. For example, Thunder. The turn sucks compared to Indy. I don't see what the point of having a truck that is so low that it impedes being able to turn and causes wheel bite. I have found that I am mostly fine on Indys with wheels even as big as 64mm without risers.
The inverted king pin .. didn't deadbolt and gullwing try to do like grind king 👑 copy them in the 80s... ?? So I don't understand why indy didn't do that in the past back then in 80s.. or maybe they did..
The AF1 baseplate is different. The holes are set back more leaving more material at the base of the truck. I wish I had a venture and a Thunder to compare them to. I may have to stop by a skateshop for the next video just to compare
@@thedude1187-q9q I’d still put risers on regardless in that case. These trucks definitely help prevent wheelbite but they’re not immune if you’re running that big of a wheel

Dad bird goes kinda hard 😂 I think you’ll love these.
Thanks Dad. I appreciate all your wisdom and guidance. 🙂🤙
Anytime lol

If that's the case I might get some eventually, that's exactly what I've frankensteined together for myself right now lol
I skate habitat trucks
The Tactics page says they have a 54mm height.
The yoke looks like a Thunder truck how its squared behind kingpin and where you see the axle housed in the hangar
Thanks for this !! I just ordered mine last week !! Hope they are dope !
Let me know what you think, we’ll compare notes 🫡
That is looking cool and heavyweight standard slappy trucks are combining the quality of a better wheel base on a skateboard!
I been tellin em
@@dadboard Definitely Bro!
Very good review and evaluation, thanks
Thanks for checking it out!

They really feel like an ace/Indy hybrid. There’s nothing krux about them imo though lol.

Hey right on man! Chico is a fun place to visit. I lucked out and found that hat on sale for like $10. Jazz is the best
Sounds like a smooth ride and more surfy sounds great, i love indys so Ill check em in the future, thanks for the review
They’re definitely worth checking out.

Great three flip!!!
Great comparison bro very helpfull !
I just got krux k5 reverse kingpins and I love the grind clearance 🔥🤪🤟

Just bought a pair very impatiently waiting for them 😂 also thanks for the great no B's review id def trust your word on future purchases!
Which ones did you go with?
@@dadboard i got the 8.5s , going from aces af1 to these bad boys
@@theonewiththename5867 just the standards or did you go hollows or inverted KP?
@@dadboard had to do inverted king pins cuz i always destroy my kingpin/ nut doing Willies 😂
@@theonewiththename5867 good choice. The clearance is insane. I gotta try the hollows out soon
about to go skate mine, just feel like a the ST1 just feels like a High AF1. indy standard height but AF1 turn. feel like im about to get hella wheel bite.
Good style
They look like aces but inverted kingpin.
They perform like an ace/Indy hybrid, that’s the best way I can describe them. Definitely a super solid truck
@Dad Board I want them but they don't make a low to my knowledge
Reminds me of Orion Trucks when they came out in the mid 90s
(in Obi wan Voice)..............Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Looks like a combination of indy and thunder
Just got my Slappy Trucks. I didn't go with the hollows because i am putting them on a purposely built slappy board.

So next weekend will be the first ride.
Let me know how you like them. I think even the standard model has loads of KP clearance so you’ll be good
Do a side by side comparison with a slappy truck and an independent truck please
They literally took direct design features from all the top truck makers and incorporated them into these trucks.
Just got a set and looking forward to trying them out! It’s good to see a new skateboard truck company out there 🤙
Anybody know if they offer replacement bushings?
Yeah slappy hasn't posted nothin, been curious about em since you threw up the pics. Put em through the paces and keep us updated 👍
He just did a jenkem interview today about them. I suggest reading it, he gives some pretty honest insight
Truck Madness has brought me to..
*INDEPENDENT TRUCK CO.*
The End.
do they feel like 55mm Ace Trucks?
Great review but I can’t find where to buy any of these anything bigger than 8.25 I’m looking for 8.5 or 9.0
I believe tactics has them all the way up to a 9” last I checked

Where is that park? It looks great.
I ride trucks super loose like the hanger shakes loose, do you think I could get the inverted king pin Slappys that loose?
You’d probably need to remove a washer from the bushings tbh. Or even shave down the bushings themselves. It might get tricky because the inverted KP.
Look they are worth a try. B Street?
Yesir!
Any update on how they’re doing/you’re enjoying them?
Working on the review 👊
Is that 28th and B?
indy baseplate with an ace hanger. why dont you measure the height of the axle?
I know I should have included that but forgot. I’ll be measuring them in my final review in about a month

These are 54mm tall. 1mm less than indy actually.
My thunders seem to turn just as well as my indies 🤷
That is an indi truck ALL DAY!!! That’s why there know history on theme
Your in Sac ? 28th and B
Mike sinclairs brand??
Indeed
I can totally get behind anything Sinclair puts together but damn... I hope he doesn't it sued by both Indy and Ave....
The inverted king pin .. didn't deadbolt and gullwing try to do like grind king 👑 copy them in the 80s... ?? So I don't understand why indy didn't do that in the past back then in 80s.. or maybe they did..
B Street
The 1 and only
Any issues with the kingpin coming loose on it’s own? Or the kingpin feeling like it’s wiggling around?
No haven’t had that issue.
I am going to relapse on trucks
😂 skate gear anonymous
Bro, seriously. Lol.
All base plates are the same size due to the bolt formation.
The AF1 baseplate is different. The holes are set back more leaving more material at the base of the truck. I wish I had a venture and a Thunder to compare them to. I may have to stop by a skateshop for the next video just to compare
Indy and Thunder have very different base plates. Try putting a riser made for Indy on a Thunder.
🤔
So basically it's a high truck .. I ride riser with Indy and ace ... Would be nice to not need to buy risers anymore ✊
What size wheels are you on?
@@dadboard I'm on 56 - 60mm ... The truck specs are in the instant now btw ✌️
@@thedude1187-q9q I’d still put risers on regardless in that case. These trucks definitely help prevent wheelbite but they’re not immune if you’re running that big of a wheel
Anyone who reads this , just ride ace
Ace is trash .
