Status: offline 		Well I have to chime in on my experience with integy as well. I am guessing I spent around 1000.00 on their products in the past and that where it stays. I have bought just about everything when I went crazy with my mini-t's and revo's. Since then all the parts have failed and are in the dump. Even their shocks failed...every one. I called them and talked to a gent and he gave me a cookie cutter response and apologized. He said we have no control over what you do with them......I race! I could not believe he said that. I asked him if they were intended for show or actual use....he said they look good on a truck so show is more practical. How was I to ever buy another product from them again? I thanked him for his honesty and informed him I would never buy another soft alum part from them again. I agree it is pot metal used....not T6 or the like. I worked as a machinist for many years and know good material when I see it and I haven't seen any from them yet. Even the pics on this forum look like the same as the old stuff. Just my opinion....not a rumor. Kevin

Not many people running this stuff and it would be nice to see how it hold up over time.

Status: offline 		Not bashing, but i to and friends, bought integy stuff for our savages a few years back. It bend first time out with little to no abuse. Their alloy is WAY to soft. I don't know if they have finally changed thier tactics but in the past is was VERY bad quality. I still have such a bad impression, they could make these outta Unobtainium and i still would not buy it.

Status: online 		I must say hndaman, I really like how the stuff looks. Are the steering uprights Integy as well? I'm eagerly awaiting for a report on how it holds up. Especially those beadlock rings.

Status: offline 		I decided to put my purple beadlocs on a fresh new set of chrome wheels for my tarmacs instead and I ordered up a new set of 4 silver beadlocs (which said backorder) but said shipped 1-16-08? so this is what they look like on my chrome wheels...

Integy's poor rep was mostly earned by their range of shocks for nitro MT's. It wasn't the quality of their aluminium that was the issue but the steel used for their shafts that were continually bending. Now their at 3.5mm for their latest MSR5 shocks and these seem to be holding up well. I had their alloy chassis braces on my savage and they were some tough ****'s, held it together through many a bad big air skate park landing on concrete and no sign of cracking so the whole thing about cast alloy is either wrong or they can cast alloy really well!

Integy do suffer from poor quality control, i've had piggyback sets come with poorly tapped threads, missing, wrong or poorly fitting parts and their steel still sucks with the hinge pins that come with the alloy rear hub carriers (savage) bending very quickly the HPI version is alot better, again not a problem with their aluminium just the steel grade they use.

Yes, but no... here's some light reading for you about integy that started long before they came out with Baja parts. Integy have also responded in this topic... http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_6216462/tm.htm
