...Funny you say that just sold a coworker an extra setup with tech deck longboard trucks 33mm with flatface tuning and he still wants Ytrucks!

In my opinion...no, BRTs are not worth the price...especially if you compare them to YTrucks. YTrucks are about 20 bucks cheaper, they perform better, their baseplates hardly every strip...and if they do, replacement baseplates are 1/3 of the price of BRT replacement plates. Ohh, and all wheels fit on YTrucks unlike BRTs.
I know a bunch of people probably disagree with me, but that's just my take.

I was going to, but since he wanted CIM I had a gut feeling it was a bad idea. If you haven't gotten it yet and he's yet to contact you, you most likely got scammed

What's the best way to install new trucks? I just got a pair of dump trucks and the rear trucks keep popping off. I'm getting them pretty flush but it's not enough to hold them on I guess

They are not BRT compatible. Homewood shop wheels are just CNC lathed china wheels. Same stuff on broken knuckle
They're compatible. I have CNC Wheels in almost every color, and I've setup 5+ wheels on BRT's, they work perfectly fine. For some reason they roll way faster and for a longer amount of time, not much wiggle room, but they work perfectly fine, so you're good.

Lots of bubble wrap and probably ship it in a bigger box. Also be sure to mark the package as fragile.

I would also HIGHLY recommend putting some 'firm' cardboard protection around the bubble wrap (just to play it safe)...most cement/granite items I brought in the past come 'double wrapped' in this fashion
