No one is bashing anything here. That is not the way we debate the issues here. I believe that my words were fairly diplomatic for the most part. You came here to ask what we thought about your choices on this project, correct? If you do not want an honest reply, then why did you post the questions? Your truck looks great. That was a compliment Sir.

I have both the old, and the new HD Integy products in my collection as well. They have a great colorful look to them for sure, but if you match them up against many of the alternatives out there, they will not hold up against the majority of what is used competitively. As I suggested earlier, once you use the HD stuff you have and actually compare itwith real world testing you may be disapointed. There is no need for you to be offended by this. With so many options for strength and integrity most of the true enthusiasts prefer parts that hold up much better, especially if their vehicle purpose is for competitive use, or more serious backyard bashing. Sorry if that does not meet with your approval, but the facts speak for themselves. The bottom line as I stated earlier is that how you spend your money is totally up to you Sir. You came here looking for answers. No need to get angry if you donnot like the responses. Have a great day.

You pick up a HD part and it feels solid and i tried bending the skid with my hands and well it was very very stiff. I did that with an old Integy skid and it bent in half like butter. Now if you are going to super bash then i don't think even FLM will hold up, it is still Aluminum. Oh the body post are the normal cheap post that will bend easy. I only got the HD Integy because none else makes the skids and stuff. Have yet to find a center gearbox. Once this beast is running i will report feedback of how everything runs. Should have this done by the time the MMM comes out. Perfect timing! As far as everyone ripping up drive train - well i think that is a major fact of not shimming correctly. I have ran the monster CEN motors in my savage when it was nitro and never had an once of trouble. That is why i am going BL. Thank you for your comments.
