Some quality parts are:
#1) UE= Unlimited Engineering http://www.unlimitedengineering.com/
#2) GARC= Great Assembly RC http://www.greatassemblyrc.com/
#3) Dace Manufacturing


those are my top choices and are products that I have bought, run hard, and can vouch for their quality! but i'm sure others can chime in.

1+ You can't go wrong with any of these, If you can get your hands on UE parts they are as close to bullet proof as they come.

I hate to admit it but I ran integy bulks when I first got my truck and they lasted until I took a big jump then they were replaced.

Integy is great for show trucks, street machines, or just light bashing but if you're looking at big jumps or any hard bashing integy is NOT the way to go.

You know, when I hit a curb at 50mph the integy bulks held up. That being said I wouldn't buy them knowing what I now know about Integy's aluminum. FLM and UE are great choices.

Yeah man... long time. I've been too broke to do anything.

I still have a pile of parts ready to go on a new flm chassis. I just haven't sent the old bent chassis in for a new one yet. Once I get the new chassis I should be up and running again.[8D]


Hopefully within the month I'll have it back together.

What 1/5th scale did you end up getting?

I got the Redcat Rampage MT 4x4 its allmost just like the maxx just huge and Loads of toqure, i will never go back to nitro, dont ger me wrong i loved my BBmax, but that nitro fuel was just getting to high,I get a gallon of gas now for $2.50 and have run time in the 45min on a tank and u get about 5 tank to a gallon, If you ever run across one for cheap i would snatch it up you wont be dissponted.
But i can see you like speed and my MT is no speed demon at all top speed is like 35mph you can make them run in the 45 range but it would not be fun off road
