“Now, I’ve never done any tests to know exactly how sharply certain trucks turn...” I seem to recall a little test you conducted with a piece of chalk. Indys vs Krux!!

I modified my ace 55's with some krux downlow kingpins and some bones bushings. I epoxied the nut into the baseplate so it works well, my favorite trucks now .

Hi Ben:) and thank you for this truck review! I like your extras demos, your wheelings are great and its nice to see a session with your friends. You look like an expert and I suppose you helped us to discover things we ignored since we started skating long ago. Thank you for your humour "take it easy guys.." and for your faith in skateboarding 👍👏

I'm glad you did another review on these. I love Ace, but I keep switching back to Thunder. Another great new designed truck is the new Destructos Team Lights. They have a really low kingpin clearance and the hanger looks pretty like Ace hangers and grind like butter also. Whats great about the Destructos is they set a hair back than ace. Kinda between ace and indy so you get the sharp turn with these as well. I wish to see a review on the Destructo team lights at some time. Thanks for the vids Ben.

Thanks for the Saturday upload always enjoy them while feeding the kids. Also interested in a royal truck review. Keep up the good work

Bought 55s in 2021 and havent rode them yet. Was waiting for the warm weather this year. Glad I got them, its for my dedicated transition setup and this review made me feel like I made the right purchase.

Wow, those manual tricks were heavy.

I just got a pair of these trucks with a 8.38 board, super reds and 56mm wheels and risers, and holy it feels soo smooth to ride. I’m starting to think why I even rode 8.0 and low trucks.

It's just so much fun watching your videos :) i just really got into skating and im enjoing some honest skating...so your channel is perfect :) lotta support from germany 🇩🇪

This was very helpful thank you I was having a hard time deciding what trucks to get for the Anderson flight Deck I was finally able to obtain and I chose Ace after watching this video and further reading on ace.

I love my aces. They turn so much quicker than my Indy and venture trucks. I can’t wait for the newer model to come out

like what you said: I love the way the alloy grinds. Although the 55s will jacknife if you're not careful when you're going at speed if you ride them super loose. lose trucks save lives but they may also break your collar bone. If the wheelbase was slightly longer or the same as an indy with that indy pop I love, they would be perfect for me. but, oh well.

Ace’s really are incredibly squirrelly and I can see how they might not be for everyone. I personally ride a set of 33’s with the red baseplate and they feel great! The metal is slick but the kingpin clearance isn’t the greatest. Love having that sharp turn so it’s an okay trade-off.

To all you ACE lovers out there: If you skate an 8.5” deck and can’t decide between getting 44’s (8.375”) or 55’s (9.0”) I’d highly suggest the 44’s. The trick is putting 3 or 4 washers on the inside between the hangar and the bearing and no washer between the axle nut and other bearing. By doing this you make your wheels stick out to the SAME EXACT WIDTH as any 8.5” truck like Indy & Thunder 149’s. This was a true life saver for me to be able to skate Aces on an 8.5” deck. Ace for life! Try it out & thank me later! 😂

Great review and comments Ben! That fun box and euro gap part at the end 👌🏼 Destructo next!

really excited about the new models, hope they stick to the stage3 model and dont get any bigger wings..just need some inverted kingpins and 6hole baseplates and they are perfect. Also, ACE come with a Top 91a bushing and a bottom 86a one, thats also one of the reasons they turn so good and you shouldnt swap them out. Also, please do a FILM trucks review. (from what i hear & see they are a mix of indy\ace\grind king)

Need your opinion on the ace af1s 🙏🏼

I've been riding reynolds 149 for years, might grab a pair of those! Good video.

Oddly enough I watch your videos to relax and I usually skate shortly afterwards. But I would like to see your review of Tensor Mag Light Reg ATGs. Cheers mate.

Love the videos Ben. Keep up the good work.

A good way to phrase it is: with a tighter wheelbase, you get a more responsive carve, so the ace trucks are more responsive than Indy

I changed the top bushing out to a thunder bushing 90a and it was like gold! Oh and Ben refer to my comment from like a year ago that I still think you move good on aces, lol!

Wow I literally a week ago I was hoping you'd have a new ACE review and all of a sudden this video pops up. Ben's a genius. I have two setups currently one with Thunders 149 standard, the other Independent hollows 149.

Yo Ben, Love the channel! I've been riding Almost impact lights (Im an older skater and a board breaker) I'd love to see a review of one.

Dude, my bad, I finally found all 3 of your wheelbase explanation videos. A very retroactive thank-you is in order...so um, yeah, thanks!!!

I just purchased a pair of Ace 33s, I'm excited to try them out once this winter snow melts

on indy 159's right now but was going to try out ace 55's for my next truck. I'm not too picky so won't matter too much to me just want to switch it up and ace 55's look super rad like mini indy 215's

Ace 44s are the best trucks ever made.

Hey ben, i'd like to see you review the tensor mag light! ive always wanted to buy them but im a little bit worried about the weight

Your reviews are so much more thought out love it

love Aces. really stepped up my bowl skating and I copped a 3 sets for $15 a pair ;)

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks!

Love your channel some day on a whim would you review mini logo trucks? I pushed them on a buddies board and they felt both stable and turned well. Though I didn't skate any transition, they are a low truck would love to know your feedback. Currently skate raw thunder 148s and love thunder just don't know whether to stick with old faithful or make the jump to something new. My next setup will be 8.5

I've got an ace 33 classics for about 2-3 months now, and im gonna say that ben is right about how this trucks breaking in, it takes me 2 weeks to break them in. The squirely feeling on this trucks happens after you break them in. But by far this trucks is the best for me and i love the look of this aces.

deedz and jacopo ride ace, amazing street skills, deedz is so surfy, ronnie and oski, two of the best transition guys ride ace and they look so smooth and surfy. i was like damn, so i bought a pair of 44s to try but haven't been able to really try them cuz i rolled my ankle, but i was really surprised how tight are, the bushings are wider than indie and thunder but i bet after breaking them in they'll be nice. they seem like good trucks but without really riding them yet, my biggest complaint is the sizes. i like an 8.5 with 159s. i wish ace made a size in the middle of the 44s and 55s.

Been skating aces, the same pair, for about two years. It did take along time to wear in but they are a solid investment. My only gripe is the pivot cup wearing out and allowing the hangar to wobble from the pivot point before even breaking them in properly. Not that big a deal, I actually told the guys at ace about it and they sent me replacement cups. The pinch is critical to mention, I did not realise that particular difference and should be noted when picking up a new set of trucks for sure. Thanks for the info!

Been riding the same ace 44 trucks since 2016 all most grinded through them

Man 5star review sir thank you im building a pro deck setup an i haven't skated in 15 years im just wantin to get back in it shits just changed alot so im basically novice what trucks do you think i should run with to knock the cob webs off an basically learn it all again?

Next to Indy is definitely Ace Trucks. They turn and grind really well. The reasons why I’m currently riding them!

55's on an 8.5 with mellow concave and big wheel base are the way to go. Ace's are underrated and it's sick that you did this review! Cheers.

When I bought my first pair of Aces, I didn’t like how they rode off the shelf. I ended up loosening 1 full turn and haven’t touched them since, love em.

Nice review Ben. What's the biggest difference you noticed with these and the last model tried like were they more stable or smoother turning/grinding?

Ben, hit me with the PO box, gonna send my my Tensor ATG's so you can finally review them. They're 8.25 mag lights

Thunder just released their 161 (9.125) truck recently, I decided to quit riding Indys altogether and go all in on Thunders. I always ride a 9 inch truck and they feel fantastic!

April crew deck, ace trucks, spitfire 52s... BANGIN!!!

I swapped the bushings out for Krux hards on my 44 classics which give a more stable feel while keeping the excellent turning radius.

I love my aces but without a wide wheelbase deck, it feels so weird/squirly. I had to go back to thunders because I could not reliably get 8.25 decks with a 14.5 inch wheels base to help aleviate that feeling.

Hey Ben, LOVE your vids. Got a wheelbase question for ya. In one of your videos you said Thunder axles are .25" further apart than Indys; in this video you say ACE axles are .25" closer than Indys. I recently measured my deck with Thunders 161s on and with Indy 159s on. I think they are exactly the same. Am I crazy? If you just push the trucks together and touch baseplates, the Thunders have longer baseplates on the kingpin side than Indys do which pushes the axles a little further apart. However when I mount them to my deck, the axle-to-axle measurement was the same at 18" (I ride a 14.75" wheelbase. Am I just doing a crappy job measuring? How did you actually get your ACE/Indy/Thunder axle-to-axle measurements? Could you post a video on that so we can see the differences? Thanks Ben!!!

Thinking about Max Palmer's setup every time you mention the twitchy feel lol, or Deedz, I feel like these trucks are great but only if you're a loose madman like those guys, either way i am interested...

What is the preference of Aces's in transition as opposed to Indy's? Is it the grinding that you alluded to or the sharp turning? Curious to know. Thanks!

Hey Ben, I was wondering have you ever noticed a truck or bushing difference when it comes to cold weather/bushing freezing. I know BC winter can be more mild compared to where I'm from (Toronto), but have you ever noticed a truck or bushing does better in colder climates?

Switch flip nose manny was soooo steez!!! Great review!! Love watching you skate street brother! Makes you look so cool..no cap!

I’ve been riding ace trucks since I was 6 and still riding them 8 years later

Ace AF1’s changed my life. The classics are good too, but AF1’s are perfect for my skating

Could you review the Tensor ATGs?

Would love to see a Tensor truck review sometime.

The grinds look super fun on those.

I tried a pair of ace 11s a buddy of mine sent me a while ago, you're so right about them being twitchy and I was constantly adjusting to pop an Ollie, felt really weird

Always nice to see a new b degros vid

They are really good I havent stopped using them since I got my first pair

I really like mine because I have a creature that has steep kicks. I really need to get some wider ones though. 44s on 8.6 is a little magic carpet-y

I ride Aces, because they grind good on curbs & they turn fast My current setup is a Blind deck with Ace 44’s & Bones Easy Streets 🤘🤘

You have any experience with Tensors? I grew up skating those and never really tried the other major brands, I'm curious what you think of them.

before i watch this ima just say ive been skating this truck on 8.0-8.25s and theyre just amazing

Great content and outro as always

Blown away by the nollie heel manuals, dude rips.

0:56 you could use the Grand King bushings with the lockout washers to try to get a consistent turn by forcing them to lock out that way you could compare the turning radius accurately between trucks or at least semi accurately as the geometry of the trucks will differ slightly

Would love to see a AF1 Ace Review! 🛹

Great review would be cool to see you review the heroin egg shape one day should be interesting :)

you're right that short wheelbases are best with steep kicks. right now i have a CCS deck and surprisingly they have pretty steep kicks and i've tried thunders, tensors, indys, and even suspension trucks on this deck but my krux which have the shortest wheelbase of all of em at 16.72 on a 14.25 just feels the best on it

Love your vids

Would you recommend 8.0 trucks or 8.25 trucks for an 8.125 deck?

have u ever run in to Spencer Hamilton at that manny spot

Are deez trucks low because i tend to try and flick before dragging and ik lower trucks make faster reaction time with pop

The only sin I've done to these amazing trucks is, I put a 94a bushing on the bottom. Now they're amazingly comfortable and perfect with a flat deck, best feeling for me.

Thanks for the review Ben 🤙

Have a set of these on a 8.5" Skull Skates popsicle...these trucks are fun. Same geometry with a set of bones bushings and an extra washer. Sorry Indy...I'm falling in love.

Okay so I got ace 33s and can't get into my 5-0s are they to small?

Hey Ben, have you ever skated Silver brand trucks? I've been wanting to skate them since I was a teenager, found them on sale for $30 a pair. I took a chance & bought 2 pairs. Fingers crossed. Hope all is well!

I know this is old but if you see this comment please do the Ace lows, from the pictures I've seen it looks like they stretched the wheelbase back out to get the lower hanger. would love to see what you think of them

What’s the difference between the old and the new model?

Hang on a minute... are you the legend that also does carpentry ? I think I watched your video regarding spindle widths which really helped

Ben, you really need to try some Theeve TiAx, I think you really like them.

Finally got a pair of 44s..very turny..and i ordered a set of the 55s for my 9.125 boards

Do the krux 9.0has thicker base plate a lot more carvy skates almost like an Indy but lighter great for mellow and steep kicks

Can review destructo trucks? I really love your skateboarding content.

If I wanna skate an 8.5 should I get the 44 or 55

Is Ace trucks good for stairs down/drop?

Not to botch this truck and the review of it. But in your opinion is your favorite truck to date? I'm a 38 year old dad, who, my boys want me to get back into some skating with them, and I haven't been on a board for years. Brands, styles have changed so much I'm out of the loop anymore. Thanks for the videos!!! Keep them up!

What did you guys use to make that ledge

Best trucks, my bushing felt great after an hour or so. I also believe if you can do a trick, you can do it on any set up. But it is a fact that ace turn and grind better than any trucks, look how many guys are riding them after being with indy for years. I've converted a few friends aswel, it's about time skateboarders start giving other things a chance and get out of their die hard brand loyalty craze

I actually only skate transition. I have a few set up dependings on what bowl i'm skating, like for 5 ft bowl i'm gonna use 8.5 inch deck with ace, why? Because most of that size of bowl is tight and using ace it's easier to turn... For bowl like 8-9 ft i usually use indy and ace with 8.8-9 inch board... But for bowl qith square shape i found using krux is the best for me... So depending on wich bowl i skate, there's no perfect set up, but there's a best set up for one exact bowl

Came for the trucks stayed for the bench session. What are specs on that bench? Haha. I need to build a good bench.

I rolled around on a friend's deck with Aces and they seemed higher than standard Indys. I also noticed his bottom washers were cutting into his bottom bushings like they were too small or something. They definitely had a sharp turn. Not sure I would buy a pair. I like their team and the pilot theme though.

I'd also be interested in a Royal Truck review.

Yeeees finally a new ace review so hyped!

bro ur the right dude for the nine club

I had switched from Indy to ace and they were great but ground down super fast and as soon as I hit axle they had a pretty bad crack that bent them. I went back to Indy.

hi, i want to now if the classic 55 ace trucks, can be good with a 8,25 deck

Hi, what wheels are you riding currently?
