So I might get laughed at or whatever, but I wan't to know what difference is there in the trucks besides 40$. I would imagine that they don't enhance performance too much, but once again, I may be mistaken. Thanks.

One of them is made out of worse materials and they are mass produced cheaply in most of the time China. They tend to break very easily. There is alsonsomething strange with the axle! Like you saud there is a massive difference in performance.

60 bucks plus shipping.

Nothing. Technically. People say pivot systems, while others mod the hell out of their trucks. I know one of these trucks come to you broken, yet offer you not only a chance to buy special wheels because others wont work on them properly.. BUT.. you also get a fix-kit.

So... this is basically what you're looking at;

Brt + special edition wheels + first aid kit(AND YOU WILL NEED THIS) = around 130 bucks.
Ytrucks = 40-60 bucks.. ?
TD trucks = 5-7 bucks.

People can yell "support the scene".. but.. im puzzled. awkward Why am i paying 60 bucks for something to break, then another 26 bucks for first aid parts, then another 40-60 bucks for wheels to get the full effect of the item... when the modified first aid kit could just be the true end product with the price of 60 bucks?

Spend your money however you want. Just dont do it without knowing what youre actually paying for. study

Well, you can buy some that are $3 that have a smaller packaging and only come with the board. $5 are the normal ones with the spare wheels, stickers and tool.

Thanks Xi, I understand the prices but I want to know firsthand from someone that has ridden both types of trucks... Are the trucks worth the money and is there a noticeable difference?

Xi, if you don't mind, I'm going to post that table on FFI. Really awesome and helpful.

Honestly, a good set of trucks isn't something that's going to give you trouble or break often. If you could, I'd get a pair. I consider a good pair of trucks a huge luxury to have.

If you don't have the money, mod Tech Deck wide trucks and they should work more than fine.

Yes, you will notice the difference, but probably not as much as from going from Tech Deck wheels to bearing wheels, etc.

Ok here is my opinion on trucks, i have a pair of Ytrucks and a pair of BRR and i had a pair of Redawns. If you're strapped for cash easily get a pair of cheap trucks... but if you have the money i would definitely recommend getting Blackriver Trucks. They are just waay smoother then any other trucks out there (in my oppinion) Ytrucks are good too but they arn't quite as smooth as the BlackRiver Trucks (once again in my oppinion).
That is mainly because i ride trucks really loose though. if you want cheaper but still very good trucks get the Ytrucks they are both very good (some people like Ytrucks more than blackrivers.) this is just my point of view.

Yes, the nuts fall off especially if you don't have rubber bushings and washers, wheels fly off, and axles can become loose.

I hate it when that happens :/ hopefully I'll be allowed to purchase a pair of Y's during the start of next year! Congrats Gary on getting on the 'Ytrucks Team' !

My china wides were better than my y's, and i've tried brt's few times, imo there's no difference on performance. The noticeable difference in the looks, brr's look best, then y's and then wides. My china wides have never broke/got loose axles etc.

The differences are subtle. If you ride tight trucks, it's easy to use any trucks you want, as long as you use some good bushings.

It's tough to ride loose trucks without glue if you're using non-locking nuts though.
