Its not a black and white thing. So decisions shouldnt be made from this statement imo

Right i did not want to quote this but here is a good explanation from dickoz, i can’t reword in a better way tbh so here it is
Tkp flaps, rkp wobbles.
Over powering a flap is hard unless your a pumper at heart.
Over powering a wobble can be done with a carve just lean.
For a person with out ankle control, tkp at speed is alot more violent and harder to tame.
Both can be stable at speed, but one is harder to over powering when it starts controlling you vs you controlling it. Rkp is easier to overcome. So it is more “stable” or it’s ability to be controlled in a stable manner is easier.

What lol???
I’ve got almost 40mph on tkp with little to no wobbles.
When set up they are perfectly fine to at least 30mph with an average rider.

Well, you are going against what @mmaner says then? I write down what I see, I don’t make it up.
What size hanger and axle have you achieved 40mp/h?
The longboard trucks are more apt for carving, cruising, and skating downhill. These trucks usually are wider and taller than standard kingpins. The width of the truck axle should match the width of the deck 
. Wider trucks provide a more stable ride due to large surface coverage. However, they are less responsive compared to narrow ones.
I’ve personally found narrower trucks to be more stable because they right themselves faster upon hitting small bumps, this is to say they respond faster to input; there is less temporal latency.

In theory, there’s a case to be made for wider trucks.
For example, a one centimeter bump will cause a lesser degree shift on the wider hanger → and a smaller steering input as well.
But in the real world, I prefer narrow trucks too xD
