rare beasts,you dont see many megatrons around which ive always found strange given all the advertising they did back in the day,you would have thought there would be loads of them

I had a set of full track size megatrons back in the 70’s they had a really thick baseplate almost like a build in riser. Very heavy quickly went on my downhill board.

I have two 8” sets now one normal and one Mark Baker signature trucks used but ok.
