Does this set include the same 4 steering blocks shown here?

anyone using it? How does it hold up. I have broke many stock arms will these just bend and then be no good?

Yes it does, it has its own special knuckles. :)

it has a true-trac rear suspension that eliminates the rear turnbuckles which requires a certain rear knuckle but yes, the front are the same as the ones in the store. coolhand runs it on his maxx and has yet to break anything and if you know him thats saying alot :005: :005:

Is it any easer to allian the front end with them? I never have been able to get my front end stright even after using camber tools and toe in tools plus steering trim.

he has that on his 2250 gmaxx and he puts his trucks through a lot it is suprising that he has not broken it yet(at least i dont think he has)

yes, i think it will make it alot easier for you. and you wont have to do much to the rear. i have a non-adjustable (couldnt adjust toe only camber) truetrac and it was awesome.

Are they still making it? Towerhobbies does not cary the silver only blue and here at rc monster it's out of stock. If you do happen to bend a top arm how easy would it be just to get that part? I went to there site and didn't see where you could just order one arm.

im pretty sure mike could get just one arm for you if you would happen to brake or bend one

i would replace it with ue as it breaks.

is ue and integy interchangeable or something? :032:

after more searching the net i found out that a lot of people don't like the Integy maxx racer x type 3 pro suspension they say it bends easy and is junk......but i don't think mike would sell it if that was true?

Sure i would love to get UE's but for almsot $500 bucks! :eek:

and if it was junk im sure coolhand wouldnt have it on his most powerful truck and he probably would have bent it by now also

well coolhand was going fullspeed and kit a jump and NAILED a tree with it and didnt do anything to it. he also hit a fence post i believe and bent a gorillamaxx chassis but the integy suspension didnt budge.

i remember seeing the damage from the tree incident
i might get the integy suspension for bashing and keep my gorillamaxx for indoor racing during the winter and that way i would always have an extra suspension.

i think teh integy would be better for racing as well as bashing.

i like the gorillamaxx for racing inside on the tight carpet truck because of the suspension geometry and it is really lightweight but the integy would definately be better for outside bashing and highspeed racing

at one point he bent a gorilla g2 chassis and the integy suspension held up. because of this i'm thinking about the same suspension.

same here if it can hold up under CHC's punishment its got to be pretty good and it is not to expensive compared to some. ill need the extra strength for my summer project.

I prefer to think of coolhandcountry as our "Stress-Tester" :003:

Probably a mere coincidence.

This is really the only positive feedback I read about the integy racer ripp off.

But let's face it, everything got a breaking point. If your not going to bash hard(like high jump's) even gpm alum arm's will hold up. But when you put them under stress you will soon know what will be better. And integy it is not.

i agree he certainly is hard on his trucks and he doesnt seem like a guy who would settle for second best.

i think the 2250 is evidence of that...

Well now. I been gone for two days and look. :D I have crashed the suspension the other day. It snapped two pillow balls off in the suspension. I got them out. The arms that broke the pillow balls are still straight. I crashed with 26 cells on the truck. That is alot of weight. For the front knuckles they are different than the ones on site. The suspension is just like the ue. Yes they did copy ue. Did they pay ue to copy there suspension? That is my question.

With 26 cells and a truck that runs 55+ mph it is hard not to break stuff up no matter what kind of suspesion. JMO

I would buy the suspension again. NO questions.

there is your proof of its toughness only 2 pillow balls were broken in a 26 cell truck the inertia of a truck that heavy its self would be enough to break it.
Coolhand what motor were you using and how fast were you going when you crashed?

probably a 9xl.

I was test running a 2250 10t with 26 cells on it. :D Not sure on speed. It was moving along kind of quick. I was on the brakes to.

you must have gotten your problem with your 36120 figured out which is good to hear.once you get everything up to par you will need to make a vid showing its awesome speed :004::004:
@ squee i kinda doubt that the 9xl could handle 26 cells for any length of time

Well the problem with the 2250 and 36120 is not fixed. I am closer to figuring it out. Hopefully in anoter couple weeks it will be flying.

cool i cant wait to here about it i may have to get a setup like that in the future(when i can afford it and when my truck is strong enough to handle it). it might not be to far off if i get a job this summer though.

boss, if you think about it is very possible although i havent crunched the numbers to see. the 7xl can handle 18, the 6xl im pretty sure is 16, the 8xl i think is 22, and so on and do forth.

i was going by when coolhand said that when he ran his 9xl on 20 cells it heated up pretty quickly. anyway a 9xl on 26 cells wouldnt be running very efficiently and would shorten the life of the motor.

The 9xl did not heat up quickly. It got warm for the weather out side. I not sure I would want to run it all the time. I would blast a 26 cells on it once if I could.

I wouldn't do it if i were you, the earth might rotate with that power

Back on topic...

The Integy is a rip off of the UE suspension, and I don't think they paid UE for it. The geometry and parts are nearly identical. The UE is for sure a stronger suspension, being cnc machined from 7075 aluminum vs. the 6061 cast of the Integy version. Is the Integy as tough as the UE? Nope. Not on a good day. Is it pretty tough? Yes. It is reasonably tough. I managed to bend a couple lower arms on a Pro3 suspension(One front and one rear) and replaced the front lower arm with a Fastlane lower arm(which is damn tough). The rear arm I replaced with a spare. I can get the arms individually, but Integy isn't exactly keeping these in stock all that well. I have the Blue Pro3 in stock, and can get the UE version. I think the Pro3 is well worth the $. No question about it. If it bent, I would replace the parts with UE (stronger and easier to get).
