Longboard set-up

I'm trying to set up a board for some campus cruising. I don't have a ton of money to spend and I'm actually on a pretty strict budget. I already have a decent deck

I need old school trucks, some smaller wheels like 70mm and bearings.

So I do some research and I find this, cheap and what I'm looking for. But I'm a little afraid of the no-name trucks and wheels. How much of an effect will it have compared to buying Abec's and Tracker trucks?

I can't make it clicky sorry:http://cgi.ebay.com/LONGBOARD-Skate...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2eabac1fd7

It'd be $33 shipped which I would love to pay. They are drilled for both bolt patterns too which is nice.

But I could also drop $100 on some Trackers and Abecs. I'm just looking for some cruising and I'm poor, not too serious about longboarding. So should I just go with the generic package?
 
I'd be pretty wary of unmarked equipment. it definitely will not be very quality stuff. you get what you pay for essentially.
However if your really not that serious about longboarding I'm sure it will work. It's not like that stuff won't work, its just how well its going to work.
As for more quality equipment. You can get a VERY good setup through online stores like daddiesboardshop.com for around 100 bucks. PM me if you wanna go this route and I can help you out
 
I definitely prefer the feel of reverse kingpin trucks but you cant really beat that price and if youre not gonna be sliding or standup slides Im sure theyll be fine
 
tere are other quality parts other than abec and tracker. look at indy trucks, a bit cheaper but still nice.
