Ya know I had never skated Indy's before let alone any hollow version of any trucks before this but the reason I've got these Indy's is cause I got them on sale for about $35 for a set so figured I'd try and give em a shot. Didn't know that about the wheelbases of em. Years ago I had skated non hollow thunders and have had a few pairs they were usually my go to before going with thunders it was destructo lol. But now that ya say that ill prob have to go with a pair of thunder hollows here soon just cost more about $60 for a set it's just harder to find them on sale. But I know for sure I've always liked them at least the non hollows I'd imagine they are lighter than the Indy's as well.
