New Project!

[bl-is-future]

I have had experience with Integys old stuff and like you all said it is good for bling. I seen the new HD stuff and ordered one skid plate just to see the difference. I got the skid plate and instantly noticed it was better. It is more solid and heavy like the FLM stuff. Now i doubt it is as strong as the FLM but it is stronger than the old Integy. You pick up a HD part and it feels solid and i tried bending the skid with my hands and well it was very very stiff. I did that with an old Integy skid and it bent in half like butter. Now if you are going to super bash then i don't think even FLM will hold up, it is still Aluminum. Oh the body post are the normal cheap post that will bend easy. I only got the HD Integy because none else makes the skids and stuff. Have yet to find a center gearbox. Once this beast is running i will report feedback of how everything runs. Should have this done by the time the MMM comes out. Perfect timing! As far as everyone ripping up drive train - well i think that is a major fact of not shimming correctly. I have ran the monster CEN motors in my savage when it was nitro and never had an once of trouble. That is why i am going BL. Thank you for your comments.

No one is bashing anything here. That is not the way we debate the issues here. I believe that my words were fairly diplomatic for the most part. You came here to ask what we thought about your choices on this project, correct? If you do not want an honest reply, then why did you post the questions? Your truck looks great. That was a compliment Sir.

I have both the old, and the new HD Integy products in my collection as well. They have a great colorful look to them for sure, but if you match them up against many of the alternatives out there, they will not hold up against the majority of what is used competitively. As I suggested earlier, once you use the HD stuff you have and actually compare itwith real world testing you may be disapointed. There is no need for you to be offended by this. With so many options for strength and integrity most of the true enthusiasts prefer parts that hold up much better, especially if their vehicle purpose is for competitive use, or more serious backyard bashing. Sorry if that does not meet with your approval, but the facts speak for themselves. The bottom line as I stated earlier is that how you spend your money is totally up to you Sir. You came here looking for answers. No need to get angry if you donnot like the responses. Have a great day.

I think there may be a misunderstanding here. I was not mad at all. I was merely trying to point out the HD is better than the old stuff, that is all. I realize that it is not as good as the alternative, I do not know of anyone else that makes skids for the savage that are strong. I love the FLM stuff and it is superior to Integy. If FLM made skids and what not i would definitely go with them. Do you know who makes great skids??? I also realize that you have experienced the new HD now. I did not know you had any. I thank you for your heads up on the fact that i may be disappointed, it would not be the first with integy. Just wanted to clear things up, i was not mad, words can not express emotion very well. I am sorry if the wording may have made it seemed like i was bashing comments made.

Not too sure about skids for the Savage, but I am sure that there may be a few guys on here who will have that answer. You may try visiting Savage.com forum to see if they can help. After all that is their specialty. Most of the stuff I have seen is either for the EMaxx or the Revo, since that is what I have mainly been working with. I do have one EMaxx made entirely of Integy bling, because I to liked the way that it looked. That was more than three years ago, before I knew about some of the other after market products that were available. FLM, Unlimited Engineering, Great Assembly, just to name a few. RC Monster & FLM have one of the best line of parts available because they cater to many different R/C models, not just one. Service is another reason RC Monster is at the top of the list. Mike is friendly and his heart is in the right place with us R/C junkies. Anyway good luck with your project and keep us posted on your results.
