[furiousbobby]

hey guys,i have a 2.5 t maxx,after having it for a short while i broke an a arm so i replaced all of them with integy aluminum type 1's,then i broke a rear bulk head and replaced it with inegy type 1,i have come to realize INTEGY KINDA SUCKS,the a arms wanna let the balls come lose all the time and the bulk head bent right were the shock tower bolts on,i wanna start buying more stuff,and i need some suggestions as to what brand of stuff to purchase,ill probally stick with the a arms for awhile but I'm ready to change that bulk out like NOW!so any suggestions would be WELCOME.thanks

check out the rpm stuff. its really durable and not too expensive to replace.

Looks like you learned pretty quick that Integy stuff pretty much sucks. Get a good set of aluminum bulkheads, (not Integy), I'm not sure if RC Solutions is still selling their bulkheads, check with scottm here on the forum, if they are his bulks are sweet! Also, if you go to aluminum bulks you are gonna want to replace the hinge pins with some titanium ones, if you bend a regular one in there you will fight like hell to get it out. Then ditch the aluminum arms, I would suggest RPM a-arms, very durable, very affordable, and carry a lifetime warranty against breakage.

I've heard the rpm arms are good,ill prolly go with them,and ill check those bulks out to,but...you do recommend aluminum bulks over plastic or...?

If your off road,try rpm a arms,bulkheads.Aluminum will direct impact to the next part if plastic it will brake.rpm is a stonger plastic and will take a hit and flex.try rpm all around, I have had no problems so far.

IMO, aluminum arms and towers are a bad idea. Especially for bashers and when RPM makes those parts. Aluminum bulks, RPM arms/towers makes for a good combo though.

Go with RPM arms/towers, RPM axle carriers,RPM skid plate covers, GA bulks, lunsford hinge pins, RC solutions front and rear skids, aluminum chassis braces and you will have a pretty solid suspension/chassis setup.

The RPM stuff can usually be found on eBay for a few bucks cheaper.

Shocks would be a good upgrade as well. Traxxas big bores are really good shocks. The springs that come on them are really soft, but the shocks are well built.

BTW, RPM doesn't make bulkheads...
