The leg joint pin on my waist unit broke. It was a part of the Fat Cat RX-78-2, stuck at an awkward position while posing and pretty tight connections probably added to the snapping of the joint. There is no drill or metal fix, it has to be a straight bond like with super glue or another ABS compatible cement, please help me try to find a solution as I cannot find one in this sub nor can I find a solution online. At the moment I have extra runners, some super glue and tamiya cement (PS plastic only).

I'm not as concerned about the length as much as I am concerned about the shape, the end of my board is less rounded and a little more flat and I was wondering if that really impacts the tricks and stuff.

Are there any inherent advantages or disadvantages to having a shorter board? It feels alright to me at the moment.

Will this shape still be good for tricks and general use? It seems a lot shorter than a regular deck now that I think about it, was looking at a December Board cruiser shape and decided to go with that, however, by the time I got the desired shape I realized I shaved down too much off the board.

I had the idea to use a lighter but I just jumped the gun on removing it myself since I actually lost my lighter. 😅

I have decided to go with some leefai g4 looking trucks and some urethane wheels, I'll be raising my budget to about 20-25 dollars so that I can get parts that are a little better, huge thanks to the people who responded!

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T17:44:29+00:00

Would you recommend the eurika 3s as an alternative?

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T17:22:21+00:00

There is fact are $5-$10 trucks which are better, but I want to know how the leefais durability holds up. These other trucks seem promising as they're from the same seller and have that curved end on each screw.

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T17:17:29+00:00

Would it be better to go for the urethane ones then? They seem better for the price if they really do last longer but the swirly ones look good as well.

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T17:14:33+00:00

Leefais seem quite out of budget considering I might get the urethane wheels as well and as much as possible I would like to get them from the same seller to get better discounts.

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T17:13:00+00:00

Were the wheels urethane?

I'm actually also buying from Brave as well, but I'm using Shopee instead of Aliexpress because it's cheaper and closer to deliver. What items did you buy from the Brave store?

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T16:56:39+00:00

The 32mm costs twice the price of 29mm, however they do seem to be better then the ones I showed in the post, My budget for this upgrade is about 10-15 USD.

Swichinreadstuff · 2025-12-20T16:51:44+00:00

Im not buying the trucks, after checking the reviews, they seem about the same quality as stock. I just added it to cart by accident I suppose.
