i bought it on ebay and ran it once 2 years ago all i remember was that it had gear noise
i put it on the shelf for two years and just did the install

i just bought a second one on ebay for 35$ and will run it and if it has no thump i plan to swap front trucks

just wish i could buy the replacement truck only

It Worked
swapping the front truck with the one i bought on ebay stopped the thumping noise

i wrote to the parts dept but have not gotten a reply  :-[

excellent...are you going to dissect the faulty truck and see if you can figure out what was causing the noise???

I found no broken or cracked gears however one wheelset had a short
I'm wondering if the insulator in the center of the wheel fell out and caused the wheel to be out of round   ???
