I think you are mistaken, FLM are the way to go as they are NOT molded like the integy.

Definately- if looks are important get the GAs (when instock next), though the FLMs can always be polished up with some elbow-grease and a free afternoon.....

FLMs bulks are very good it might just be a bad batch the GA's bulks are actually made by FLM or vise versa

I have the combo bulks, and aside from the machine marks in the deeper crevaces I could not be more pleased with them. I only bash, so machine marks are fine by me, it will all get scratched and dinged eventually.

i have the GA 7075 bulks and diff cases, and they sure were pretty when they were brand new. there were machining marks, but not as bad as suicidenell's. however, after bashing with them for nearly a year, they now no longer look so good. there are... black marks? i don't know how else to describe it, but they will only come out with some serious polishing. other misc. scuffs that just occur from wear, too.

they are nice, however. so are the 2mm ti skids i got from them. dave is great with customer service, too... but then again so is jamie at FLM.

The only problem I've had with FLM is that my chassis antenna mount hole wasn't tapped deep enough. I had to finish tapping the hole, otherwise, my antenna mount would've been on the bottom. LOL

This thread scares the crap out of me lol! I just order a FLM bulk set and I don't have a tap or a drimmel!!! This thread is months old HOPEFULLY they have dealt with all issues! eek!

My bulks turned out fine! love em. Only had to grind the chassis for a second to make them fit. No problem.

I had issyes getting the hybrid bulks to fit rpm arms... I had to sand the arms where the pin goes thru on both sides (so 4 sides per arm) to make them fit without binding. That was a shit load of work. Then I made lst cases fit the stock maxx bulks... Maybe I will sell my hybrid bulks...

Havent had an issue with my FLM bulks
 

I have been running the FLM's bulks for some time in the EMAXX with MMM and 4S and they are holding up great to my sons incredible abuse. they dont have the super smooth machining however they make the stuff out of 7075 billet and i found the fit to be perfect.
going back over the pieces to polish out cosmetic machining marks takes time and money.
