Some other details I missed but are generally important, TKP trucks typically use smaller bushings than RKP trucks. Theres so much more in-depth I could go, I could point out niche use cases, but I think that would confuse a lot of people. Maybe one day! Thanks for watching :)

I'm thinking of getting the loaded coyote or arbor sizzler with 150mm reverse kingpins. But those have 17" wheelbase. I've read somewhere the 16 to 17 wheelbase is the absolute lowest you could go for RKPs. What is your opinion on this? Is 17" wheel base enough for 150mm Reverse kingpins? I had to pass on many boards with better graphics because their wheelbases were below 16.

I typically prefer tarpaykey trucks

[@taharben4402]

I typically liked the video, typical thanks

[@corycyr67]

thanks a ton for this. the only truly concise explanation of the differences I've found. I'm an old man who just got my first board in over 30 years without doing enough research, and I was freaked out thinking my trucks had been installed the wrong way! turns out I have RKP's, something I just had never seen in the 80's.

[@jeremiahsweeny6711]

Helpful video, thanks!

[@ssub_ynot]

Great video, short yet very in depth and good comparison!

[@eBoard3R]

🤙🏼 *Thank you for the info on turnin characteristics!* 🤙🏼 Most videos and info I've found so far didn't give this much insight, great video!! Much appeciated 🤙🏼

[@StephenStockman80]

Made my day 😂👏🏻👏🏻

[@Iamtraceur]

You sure say typically alot💯

[@user-rl7fw4kq5z]

finally! found a video that explained this. the term uses "reverse", but the trucks in the shop i looked at had "inverted" for the same thing. jesus. anyway, good video

[@paolochilardi8672]

Coll bro 💪 Wolud be great a test-riding both

[@rollypollyguy3976]

I like simple. I appreciate ya

[@walter8758]

Another great review! u can use "usually" instead of "typically" especially when referring to TKP, less tongue twisting 😋 My brain almost got confused between typically & TKP Jokes aside, how much more effective is a precision truck like DT to a normal RKP. The price is ridiculously high & to me, wheel bearings still sit on a shaft maybe with less play. Great if u could do a video on them & share where the unique qualities are if any that justifies the cost

[@mountsnowdon78]

Interesting. I’m gonna start modding my Ripper Tkp 155 with some angled risers instead of the flat ones that are on it. I might get other trucks when I’ll get some more venom I mean monev.

[@markifi]

i have a longboard i disassembled years ago and i don't remeber which way the trucks were originally on

[@crispcat]

This is the first video where I’ve seen RKPs trucks on a board and it explained well. Most videos have people holding the trucks in their hands. Gives us no idea of proper orientation.

[@LongboardingExplained]

When in doubt, pivot cups out!

[@DaddyRobotX15]

02:00 minutes= when we downhill, longboard riders ( respectfully and all...) explain street skating it always goes like this 😂🤣😂🤣..." c'mon..you know...where ya grind and slide and scrape up on things ...on your trucks ...not on a hill.....yeah,that stuff!!" hahaha 💛🤙🏻

[@Mystninja]

Do a switch kickflip slide on the thing thing 180 out

[@artsbymus3mbi]

Oh my days😂😂

[@Krudd07]

As a skateboarder why don’t you guys just get independents or thunders etc etc no hate generally curious

[@quest2782]

anyone know some decent brands to buy some from?

[@olbeirdo8376]

I don't rly use tipeki trucks, I prefer longer boards anyways :>

[@bullwinkle1446]

I got 60 millimeter wheels on a 34 inch deck. Its really fast and responsive but wouldn't recommend it to someone new.

[@Preedy22]

Do you (or anyone else reading the comments) know why some people recommend tkp for a pumping setup?

[@andriipetrov4779]

As far as i know it's not about tkp in general, but about certain models. Bennett Vectors have taller bushings then regular rkp and tkp trucks. With soft bushings it rides well as front truck. IMO not usable as rear truck at all Other option is Tracker set, didn't have them, not sure what's the feature of this trucks. After two seasons of experiments i sold my bennets in favor of 125mm Randall's set (chopped to 108mm), wedged 65deg front and 25deg rear

[@LongboardingExplained]

@@andriipetrov4779 I need to try Bennet's one day

[@LongboardingExplained]

Yeah some TKPs are very very turny. I just don't have first hand experience

[@Preedy22]

Thank you both!
