not rich, but I make do
, and $150 really isnt that bad in my mind, but with my luck I will have a few blow outs that will cause a few crashes and $150 worth of bent aluminum is not what I'm looking for..a $10 VXL chassis and broken plastic is easier to fix.
Integy is fairly inexpensive, and like I had said, I've never had problems with their parts for 1/10 scale vehicles..and if/when I do crash the truck at full speed, oh well..
its still an on going project, and still trying to find some half shafts/yokes that handle the torque of the Velineon motor.
