No the precision Cals are 125-135 but cast cal 3's come in 160 and 180mm widths and are compatible with the precision baseplates!

Love the review I thought it was great! I was wondering about the insert longevity, it reminded me of smokies and their insert, how do cal 3s compare to smokies?

I havent actually skated smokies so I cant compare, for the insert longevity I am not sure either as these are the first trucks with inserts I have owned however from knowing others who skate trucks with inserts I know that it is common for inserts to last up to years before needing to be replaced. There a lot of factors like how often you skate, how aggressively you skate, how often you take the insert off etc.

Thanks for you insight, I just got a set and I was wondering if you’ve had any experience with the bushings not lining up with the bushing seat? When trying to run talls without a boardside washer, the road side bushing was getting clipped by the top half of the bushing seat. I was using seismic tall bushings. Also the insert is a bitch to get into place. Any experiences with similar things?

Pretty sure if trucks come with washers boardside it means they are supposed to be there. You probably were throwing the geometry out of line by not running the washer which made the bushing get clipped.

3:13 Possible hack? You can swap out the precision 50 degree baseplate with the cast Caliber III 50 degree baseplate that still comes with the removable shim for tall bushings, if you really want to use one.

@@ChemTrailSkateThere's practically no accessible options for pucks, and the stuff which is around is expensive and more performance/race oriented. I'm fortunate to have my Ojooms from 3 years ago still, but my friend who freerides fairly casually is stuck with bootleg S9 pucks from Amazon because that's the only option. It's like DH gear has gotten so refined but it's so sparse in quantity nowadays compared to 10 years ago. Sorry for the rant but addressing these holes in gear availability could potentially be a good video.

Hey! Great review as always! I also prefer trucks that are more flowy/surfy and have a hard time to get used to the snappiness of Cal3s. It got alot better when i switched to tall bushings, but still very snappy. When comparing cast trucks, which brand do you think has the flowiest feel? I'm about to buy/try some Bear Gen6. Have you ever tried Bears and can you compare them? Thank you! :)

Keep an eye out for Arsenal cast trucks if you can find some. Gullwing Reverse and Charger 2 are also great imo. Also if you're on 165mm or narrower trucks you'll get much less snappiness out of something wider.

We know they are way more prescise than any cast truck, the point isn't just being prescise, it is some of rhe point of course but also strength. Strength is increased immensely. We can be pisutive the tolerences are small because they are machined. 🤷♂️ just my thoughts.
