We’ve measured the FILM 5.5 up, and we get a real-world hanger measurement of 144mm, an axle of 8.25″, and a height to the center of the axle of about 54mm with the stock bushings, with a weight (including all supplied nuts and washers) of 360g per truck – making these trucks fractionally lighter than Independent’s standard 144.
The bottom bushing measures 14mm, and the top one is 10.3mm – with a specially-shaped extension to fit around the kingpin in the hanger to hold the hanger central and reduce slop. The provided bushings measure 88a on our durometer, and should be fine for most skaters out of the box.
Finally, the pre-installed kingpins are of the modern splined variety, but there is a space in the baseplate for a hexhead; we can’t guarantee a traditional or inverted kingpin would be held without wobble until we try it ourselves, but at least on paper, it should work.
