Do you have any advice about which size Trackers go get?
My current ride is an Alva Hartsell with Six Tracks and Bones Sk8 Park Formula 58mm:
I'm thinking of getting a Powell Logo deck https://secure1.nexternal.com/skateboa...POW0OGLO10000.gif
I was thinking TRACKER DART 161MM SIXTRACK TRUCKS but the sales guy suggested TRACKER DART 219MM TRUCKS but they seem way to big to me.
I plan on using the same wheels - pretty happy with them.
The problem is I'm buying this all online and can't see how it all sizes up together.
Appreciate some help.
Thanks |

| Dart 184's might be OK with that board. Depends on the width of the wheels, and whether they're center/off/side-set. |

I'd think the 161's would work nicely in that application. Especially with a bit wider wheel.
I'm an Indy 169 guy myself. They seem to go best w/ a 10" deck IMHO. |

I would get six tracks myself. I have been looking at a McGill which is the same width as the logo board, but dont want to put trucks that are so HUGE like the 219's.
I use six tracks on my Steadham re-issue, the look/work great. |

Forget Sixtracks for anything with oldschool drill... go for the gold and get Tracker Aggro QT1600's -- they turn way better -- don't know why, as the geometry seems similar to Sixtracks. I liked the first set I got so much, I went ahead and got 2 more sets so I'll always have good riders.
If you are running newschool, the Aggro hangers work with B2 and Dart baseplates.
The new Sixtracks are really just cut down 184 Darts. Good trucks, but I like the Aggros better. |

What's the story behind "Tracker Aggro QT1600's". They aren't on Tracker's website.
I did find them at Old School Skate though (not sure if really in stock): http://oldschoolskates.com/searchresu...spx?CategoryID=44

| They are the late 80's Trackers, before the newschool mounting pattern killed off the vert trucks. Aggros are what you see Hawk riding in older photos. The Stimulator bushings they come with are some of the best bushings ever made. |
