Your baseplate holes are stripped. Here's what Slick Screws are for

From the product listing at Run it Back, where the screws came back in stock on November 8, 2026 after showing sold out the day before:

• Made in London. The listing calls them "precision engineered in London."
• Two versions. BRT, for Blackriver Trucks, and Dynamic.
• Other truck brands: the brand says the Dynamic version "can be used, in most cases."
• Bigger damage: "For larger stripped holes, BRT may work best."
• Pack size: 10 screws, new condition.
• Price: the listing shows 10 per pack.
• Stock right now: only the BRT version was back in stock at the time of writing.

The listing also carries a clear warning: these are only for stripped holes and should not go into holes that aren't already stripped.

1. Confirm the hole is actually stripped. Try a known-good screw in that hole. If a fresh screw also spins freely or pulls out, the threads in the baseplate are the problem. If the fresh screw tightens, your old screw was the worn part, and a normal replacement is all you need.
2. Check every hole. Note which of the eight holes are gone. The warning matters here: only the stripped ones get a repair screw. Leave healthy holes on regular hardware.
3. Identify your trucks. Running Blackriver Trucks? The BRT version is the obvious match. Running Dynamic or another brand? The maker points you to the Dynamic version for most cases.
4. Judge how bad the damage is. If a hole is badly chewed out, the maker suggests BRT may work best, even outside Blackriver trucks. The listing doesn't say how to tell "larger" from normal stripping, so if you're unsure, ask the shop before ordering.
5. Go gently on install. The listing gives no install steps or torque guidance. The general rule for small hardware applies: turn slowly, stop as soon as it's snug, and don't force it if it binds.

• Using repair screws as a preventative. The maker is explicit: not for holes that aren't already stripped.
• Blaming the baseplate when it's the screw. Rule out a worn screw head or thread first.
• Cranking it down. Overtightening is a common way holes strip in the first place. A repair screw driven too hard can end up the same way.
• Assuming one version fits everything. Dynamic covers most other brands, per the maker, but "most" isn't all. Larger holes may call for BRT.
• Mixing up truck tuning and mounting. Loose turning is a kingpin and bushing question. Stripped holes are about the baseplate staying on the deck. Don't chase one with the other.

If you've confirmed a stripped hole, the Slick Screws listing on Run it Back is where to check which version is in stock. If you've already used them on BRTs or other trucks, we'd like to hear how the repair held up over a few deck swaps. Real long-term reports from riders would answer the question this listing can't: how many remounts a re-threaded hole survives.
