Question TKP trucks suggestion

So i have a acedeck stella S3 breeze pro and DKP does not fit my riding style nor can i take the time to learn right now. I bought the DKP to TKP conversion kit for the board and it only comes with TKP baseplates i need a suggestion for good TKP trucks and probably better bushings.

if I'm not mistaken you can use the trucks from dkp setup that comes with the board

heard good things about these OMW TKP trucks. for bushings you can’t go wrong with riptide

I'd actually advise going RKP for a decreased chance of speed wobbles.

It's a bit more complicated than RPK is stable and TKP is twitchy.

TKP are sharper to initiate but after that they diminish. Where the RKP will initiate more smoothly but just keep on leaning. This makes TKP good for short boards where you want sharp handling but shallower angles between the two trucks at the extremes. Typically with anything above a 17" wheelbase you want RKP.

I rode RKP and yes they were stable but they had the turning radius of a bus. I ended up pairing them with a waterborne and it was life changing how much more fun it was to ride. My next board is going to be DKP with option for TKP. Downhill longboarding which runs similar / faster speeds than Eskate is almost exclusively TKP, RKP was the norm for a while but almost everyone is on TKP, and narrower trucks now.

I would personally disagree about the RKP and I think the longer the wheelbase the more you want TKP than RKP as longer wheelbase increase stability and reduce turning radius.

Brother what has been smoked?

Downhill scene ain't on tkps lol. They are definitely on rkp, lot of narrow split angle rkp nowdays.

In general, 50° rkps have a better turning radius than a standard tkp.

Maybe I was smoking something I'm not in downhill scene but could have sworn I was watching some videos and reading some stuff about it.  I might have been wrong.  I know there are way more options and variations in trucks now.  My older 45 degree RKPs has terrible turn radius.

I like the B One split angle tkp on my Titan X, they sell them in regular and wide (wide is 10mm axles)

You use the same truck hanger/axle from the DKP, and just put it onto the TKP baseplate, no need to buy separate hanger, you just use your existing one.
