It will soon be a lot of play. Integy is pretty, but no customer support and NO warranty if you install the parts on the car. Now you know for next time.

You won't find many recommendations for Integy parts here. There's a good reason for that.

i kknow how you all feel but I'm not knocking them till something definativly happens to mine
but i barely runn my good truck at all so they have lasted 3 years for a reason it was built in my mind for speed and racing
the savvy x is all stock because its my jumper and track truck for fun
They will hold up fine for general use, but they will get sloppy on the hinge pins pretty quick. A way to combat that is to drill/tap little holes in convenient places to put set screws in to keep the pins from rotating in the bulkhead, but rather the arm rotates on the shaft. It's also cheap insurance in case you loose a pin E-clip.
As long as you don't over tighten the screws that go into the bulks and if you don't hit anything really hard directly on the front/rear, the integy ones will hold up. However, the screw holes do strip very easily and all it takes is one hard front end hit with a stationary object and they will get tweaked on you.

i bet har hits suck with a run off truck too i have had the bulkheads from new era and i love em cause the lhs had a sale on all there alloy stuff so i bought all you see for like 250 300 mabey and the olything i didnt buy sale was the motor and the truck itself and all the misc parts like dual brakes 3 speeed trans gas tank lines and the supercharger thats no longer useable
thats the only rb innovations thing i broke cause the screw came out
