It doesn't change which bushings you can put in it, elims are slightly shorter but wider It will lower the truck angle, not sure by how much, but I assume between 5 to 10 degrees.

What he said, you can ride hard bushings on 50 degree plates and feel super stable. Each to thier own big time. Riding lower degree is not the answer to breaking sound barriers, knowing how to ride your skateboard is.

I ride at 49degree with mm hangers and bushings softer than I have been using in older set ups and it's fine. But the issue with flipping hangers is bunk. The next level of construction is a precision truck, they are produced by milling a solid block of metal by a CNC computer numerical control router. This produces the strongest trucks compared to casting and forged trucks due to the grain of the metal staying completely inline and produces exact geometry, eliminating slop.

Slop refers to the sloppiness and misalignment of the geometry that occurs in casting and forged due to the mold and variation of the geometry. Precision trucks eliminate this geometry flaw with the help of computers producing a precision cut. Some examples of precision trucks include Caliber precisions , Bear Precisions, and Rogue.

Baseplate angle is another component of the longboard truck that can change the feel of your board. This angle is determined buy the axis of the hanger and baseplate.

A higher degree baseplate will provide more turn then a low degree truck resulting in a change of turning radius. A lower degree truck will also provide more lean then a higher degree truck. Lean refers to the angle of the deck as you turn. A higher degree truck will provide more turn than lean, while a lower degree truck will provide more lean then turn. Each person has their own preference. If they are looser, you'll have a more playful ride and can get more carves in, but you risk getting wobbles if you are not applying weight to a turn at higher speeds.

If you want more speed, stability and less wobbles tighten then up, but turning will take more effort. A bushing is the two pieces of urethane donut on the center kingpin going through the middle of the truck. Varying hardness and snugness seating can affect your ride.

Some trucks sit low - especially standard kingpin trucks - so you are going to want to make room if you have big wheels. Get some risers to avoid the dreaded wheelbite wheel touches the board - you go flying if you have big wheels and low trucks. Check out your setup by standing on the board and lean into a turn without actually skating to see if it touches. You have a few things you can play with: riser height, bushings tightness, looser trucks, a board with.

Baseplates are the angled part of the board that holds the truck to the deck. Higher baseplate angles add pressure to give you more carving power while lower ones give you more stability at high speeds. Low degrees is better for avoiding getting caught on stuff like sticks and stones. A final thing to note is bearings. You should take care of them. Pop them out and wipe them down every once in a while and a little oil will keep them spinning nice and smooth, even give you some extra range on your Mellow.
