    k2.1 performance core thruster set vs. wct's

    how's the feel of the wct's compared to the k2.1's? looseness, drive, pivot?

    WCT has smaller area and base, it's a bit more upright than the K2.1 hence I believe the WCT will be a it looser. The rake seems to be pretty similar

    K2.1.jpg
    Dimensions:
    Base: 4.33" 110mm
    Depth: 4.53" 115mm
    Area: 15.23"² 9824mm²
    Sweep: 32º

    Height: 4.50 in, 11.40 cm
    Base: 4.37 in, 11.10 cm
    Area: 14.89 sq in, 96.06 sq cm

    Rear:

    Height: 4.35 in, 11.05 cm
    Base: 4.25 in, 10.80 cm
    Area: 14.10 sq in, 90.97 sq cm

    yep...too loose for me where as the 2.1's were all i needed in fcs...hard to compare fully though as you cant put them both in the same board..(unless you buy 2 indentical firewires with both plug types)...

    As you would expect, the Techflex WCT's are stiffer and drivier than K2.1. The K2.1 felt more playful in everday average beachies. I tried the normal honeycomb WCT and they felt like a bit of a nothing fin, not realdrivey and not real loose..
