RE: Integy 5b alloy radio box
No , the 2.4 radios should not have any glitches from metal or electric parts. And I myself is buying one of those. I already have Integy a arms, front & rear shock towers and shock towers brace's , beed locks , front and rear hub's, and front and rear top plates. All is silver billet aluminum oh and i got their new wheel nuts and steering unit. I'll post some pic's soon once it's all finished. ( this will be my second aluminum baja build the first had a 28.5 stuffed crank thats all and that thing flew with all aluminum parts from Integy and Turtle racing, And VG performance parts) It got an 2 speed with 30.5 ...16-58 first gear and 20-54 for second gear, man that thing is FAAAaaaaaassssssst. I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE XTRA WEIGHT IM NOT A PRO RACER IM JUST HAVING A FUN BASH EVERY TIME I GO OUT
. Those 30.5 are used on go peds to pull large kids around for fun. So a 30 to 35 lb buggy will not hurt that motor in any way. The x tra weight makes the motor really show off it's torque

RE: Integy 5b alloy radio box
I built a high end 5t VW last year for an rc showwith an integy alloy radio box. It's a piece of crap. 4 times I received a broken one just from shipping. The screw that holds the antenna on is made of jello. And they designed the angle of the battery plug so low that you can't charge the battery as you can't get the charger plug in because of the gas tank. It's cheap poorly designed crap.
Steer Clear. Every single integy part I have owned has broken. It's potmetal. This isn't gossip I've owned these items and speak from experience.

RE: Integy 5b alloy radio box
I was one of the first people to have the integy alloy box. Iwas less than pleased although it looked good for the build I did I would never buy another item from them after breaking several items during install and having a hell of a time with their customer service. Their parts are not of the quality of other available items.
If you read my comments on HBF, keep reading I changed my opinion after messing around with their crappy service for more than 6 weeks.
Buy what you want to buy. I am giving you first hand experience from owning and dealing with their parts you can take my advice or leave it. Any company not willing to tell you the quality of their materials in my opinion has something to hide. Take any integy part and compare it to a quality TR or GH part and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the difference.
Again I speak from my experience with these products not on gossip or speculation.
And by the way Im the person who informed Integy of the problems with the V1 radio box! They could gold plate that thing and I still wouldn't buy another one.
Quality control, product testing, and awesome customer service gets my business not companys who use subpar materials, rush products into production, and who give you the run around when their are problems in which they are responsible!

Plus I heard that the Integy radio box was smaller inside than the stock box. Some battery packs might not fit. Boo. Not cool.

RE: Integy 5b alloy radio box
Hopefully they have made significant changes to it to allow for more functionality and less chance for breakage. Ido admit it's a nice looking part but quality wise and customer service was less than appropriate.
Hopefully you have better luck!!!
Make sure you have the o-ring around the lid seated very well before attaching the cover so it doesn't break.
