Are Propaganda / Bollie / Redawn trucks just china trucks. If not can you fell the difference when fingerboarding? What trucks do you ride?

^they're all China trucks just tuned

Yeah^
The best trucks are Ytrucks, Brr trucks, propaganda trucks and closeup trucks
my favourites are ys, but the cheapest at amazing quality are propagandas

Does like no-one use the Quick questions thread anymore?

Propagandas are just cheap painted china trucks. 12 euros? Huge ripoff.
You can buy Dumps with teflons from flatface for approximately 5-6 American dollars.
Super cheap, and equally good as: Bollies, Propagandas etc.
If you are aiming for trucks that are cheap and solid quaility, buy Flatface dumps with teflon's
I had 4 pairs of teflons. Awsome trucks, but there is one problem:
If you are a person like me and you often unscrew the trucks from your board and screw them on another board and so on. The holes on the trucks get ruined by the continious friction between the screws and the holes on the trucks.
If you damage your trucks like I damaged mine you will notice that the trucks won't fit the screws. So in order to set up your setup you'll need longer screws like the brt's ones. Cause the shorter one's the black ones just won't fit, and no matter how long do you try to screw the screws you will fail.
But the prevention against this problem is for you to stop switching decks that much.

If you already mastered some solid tricks and you're aiming for something that's top quallity buy brt's or Y's.
I just got my brt's and they are amazing. You can tune them how you want to. High quality stuff bro.
Another cool thing/feature about the Brt's 2.0's are the lock nuts. They prevent nut dropping even if you're trucks super loose. But If you have wheels like that are not brr edition wheels, you cant setup your trucks properly.
Well you can, but you will loose the smoothness of your bearings. I have the same problem right now. I ordered G6d's instead of flatface brr editions to spear some money. And Life kicked me in the nut's again. haha.
You can buy Y's too. They are cool too, never tried them.

Does this post make any sense? Probably not. I was trying to make it look Xi style. haha.
Hope this helped.

propaganda's aren't a huge rip off, they're made by a company supporting the scene, and the money goes back to the scene. I'm literally talking thousands of pounds a year into huge events (efc) just like brr give back with bollie products. they're worth buying, what isn't worth buying are products from companies who mark up ridiculously and keep all the profits to themselves. And propaganda paint some of their trucks themselves iirc.

dump trucks are a great price though.

don't switch up any truck lots, in the nature of fingerboarding and how trucks don't have monting screw nuts, it WILL strip the bases eventually. Even high quality trucks, enough wear on them will strip them. its not a product flaw, its the nature of metal.

Get wides until you're really really loving fingerboarding and feeling like you want to upgrade, then get BRRs. Ys are good too, but I'd recommend BRRs always, in my books they're the best grind and the best turn.

Yeah maybe i overreacted. But from my aspect it's just not worth to pay 12 euros on tunned china wides when you can get them for 3 euros from flatface. Yeah I do understand the scene supporting etc.
But some kids just don't have the money to pay 12 euros for china wides.

edit: brr has some amazing products and i support them.
I've had a really retarded day. i don't know why am I such a douche to the enviroment the last month.
sorry people.

Just use dump trucks and throw some tuning on them when you are just starting.

When you get better you can upgrade to like BRR or YT if you want.

But if you feel inclined to buy the most expensive set-up evaaaar don't let me stop you ;P

ive got y trucks, love them!

I've been using my propaganda gold trucks for over a month now. They are what I started with and I am still using them now. They feel unreal when riding. So solid! What's great about them is that you can make em super loose, or as tight as if they where one whole piece of metal. Love them.

Gonna sorta steal the thread here but...
What is the difference between dump trucks and china trucks and BRT's And Y's?
What features do the good ones have that the others don't have?

You should read my random ass post about fingerboard trucks on this page:
https://fingerboardhq.darkbb.com/t5065p855-newest-decks-setups-official-thread

Dump trucks are the same as China trucks but sold from Flatface with their bushings. The rebranding is important because Flatface support the scene.

BRTs and Ys are higher quality trucks. Both feature their own original design, featuring actual pivot cups, they come with proper bushings and washers, they are single axle, have locknuts (plastic threaded nuts), they both come with their own unique screws and tools. They are also better quality metal compared to the China trucks.

Ytrucks feature an inverted kingpin which is really great for tuning the truck to your exact preference, no matter if it's loose or tight.

Both BRTs and Ys are better than China trucks but the difference is not that huge to justify the amount of money they are sold for. I do recommend them but only if you are happy with every other component on your board and you have money to spend.

I cant afford brr or y's at the moment so I use the china wides with allen key king pin and axle system to prevent lost wheels and such,but someday I am gonna get some brr probably will be used but thats fine with me as long as they are in decent shape,you see em on ebay once in a blue moon if you sift throgh all the china shit.

propagandas are chinas. check the symbols on the botton of the hangar and base plate. ytrucks are the bombski. cheaper and more versatile than brts and IMO they are much better. also you dont have to buy new wheels.
