Which longboard trucks should I use?

Randal R-II trucks come stock at 50 degrees on the hangers. This is a typical angle for general purpose trucks as it allows the board to turn well at a variety of speeds.

Randal R-I Downhill style trucks are more stable, and have a turning angle of 35 degrees which is better suited to high speed skating.

Slalom boards will use a quick turning truck in the front paired with a stable truck in the rear, to allow for better traction.
