Not liking the body much but thats moot. Just came back from hobby shop looking at crawlers
I have an itch to get one will add this to list to choose from.

The body hopefully will come unpainted and then can be used for making a Lil' Miss Dangerous/Blacksmith/Captains Curse body. I guess it's interesting that they are making a huge truck when people can barely afford the smaller ones. For the money though, it looks like a good deal. We can only wish that it lasts longer than most of their aluminum parts or has a better warranty.

I wonder if the standard Integy "Once it is installed" warranty applies.

So, it's out of warranty at the factory? LOL

I like the idea of 40-series wheels though. This thing will be huge.

I read it somewhere that these integy trucks are re-badged from other manufacturer. Just can't remember which one or where I read it.

This is garbage. It's Integy. That's how they roll. Some of their products are fine, but this is just a rip off of a bunch of other company's designs.

Plus it's a Super class rig. No one even runs Super class anyone because 2.2's and 1.9's are so much more fun.

I read Redcat Racing but here is a pic I took of one of theirs to compare

If you go and look at Integy offerings at Tower, they sell something that I would venture to say looks close to the Redcat pictured but it's also $500. The new one in this thread has cheaper side plates rather than a cage structure and it has simple arms and linkages. It looks like they realized that their "top notch" offering wasn't selling. I think this new one is worth the money for someone looking to rock bash for cheap on stuff that would swallow up a 1.9 or 2.2 truck. But, the huge everything means it needs huge steering power and probably a couple blown out servo's or broken links in the process. Back to my warranty comment when stuff starts breaking.

what warranty, the moment you take it out of the box its gone. lol

not feeling it at all. ill wait for the new losi and axial scx.

integy is not known for quality or customer service. redcat has knock-offs too. i havent seen an original design yet.

lol, that way at least if a linkage is already broken, and it likely will be, you will at least be able to have a case with them. As soon as you put it on the SHELF, all bets are off. :D
