I want to get a set of really good trucks and from what I have heard BRT's and Y Trucks are the best so I was wondering which ones are the best

It's all about preference + this question has been asked somewhere between 38493248324 and 5493593677554533445 times.

roughly, of course.

And yea, its preference. I personally think brr trucks are tops, but ys arent bad by any means! if you want ys loose, get rid of the washers. if you want brrs loose, get tkys.

Go with BRR's. My TD trucks performed better trick-wise than my y's. It seems as if the y-truck's enter of gravity is so far away from the deck, that it is hard to flip it.

I say BRT.. You can ride em nice and tight, or you can ride'm looooose.

THey are both professional trucks, but if something goes wrong with your Ytrucks, you have to buy a whole other pair of them. If something goes wrong with your BRT's you can buy seperate replacment parts, that why i love BRT's. Ytrucks are still good though, its up too you man!

^Kerry, can we get that table sticked and locked as a truck reference tool?

yea thats a good idea, will do it later

Lol, that table. I'm surprised it's getting put into use still. If you do copy it, a good tip is to quote the post so then it's not just an image but the actual table. I would like to make a few changes to that table too.

The Expert Sk8 trucks have conical washers, come with soft and hard bushings; the "adjustable kingpin" seems to just be some fancy advertising, it's completely normal; finally, the guesses on the screws and nuts material were right. Obviously, I still don't know the price. Plus, most wheels won't be compatible with them.

I was also tempted to put in Ytrucks X1/X2, BRT 1.0/2.0 wide, Close Up G1/2/3, China regulars and X-Concepts 33mm longboard trucks in the table but it would be too big.

As for my preferences between BRTs and Ys, I prefer Ytrucks X3. It's slightly cheaper, has a really nice inverted kingpin and nice bushings for nice turning and looks pretty awesome.

Sure, I've heard of lots of problems with BRTs. I just fucked up the axle on one of mine too. I've not had any problems with my Ytrucks though so this point really isn't a big one.

Once again.

It's all personal preference.

I have Ys and they're smooth like butter but I have yet to try any BRTs.

I'm pretty sure they are both solid choices so just decide on one, throw em on a set up, have fun.

i dont know
i have BRTS2
i think its better

Whatever you think looks best, in my opinion there is no difference between wides and brt's/y's.

I would like y's but they have the y sort of engraved in the truck. I'd rather it be flush looking.

I have Y's. They are cheaper than BRT's, and look better in my opinion. I ride them on the tighter side so I had to add another o-ring. Even if you crank the kingpin down, hey are still pretty loose (mine were at least)

I've used Brt's, they seem I tad bit heavier to me. I dont like the look of them too much either.

Get yourself a set, but personally, I think that I'm just going to buy locking nuts and put them on td trucks. I really dont see that much of a difference between the 2 performance wise, besides the wheels not falling off, haha.

Y TRUCKS FTW!

For Y Trucks beign a bit cheaper I have heard that they are a bit better!
