Just ordered a set of Integy bulks, front & rear. Do I need to order a specific set of hinge pins, or will my stock ones work?
 
your stock ones will work, but for the hinge pins on the one that you have to screw straight into the bulks, you will have to put them in backwards into the suspention arms. i figured that out.
 
i would get some aftermarket hinge pins just so they dont bend in ur new aluminum bulks. i would suggest the Lusaford hingepin set

i also recomend the Lunsford TI hinge pins that what i run and I'm also running Integy Bulks but I'm less than impressed with them i think integy uses some cheap Alum to make there parts with I've bent the bumper mounts on the front and rear and was very disatified with the integy engine mount (broke it)
 
I'll go with the Ti hinge pins, then.

Oh well. Another week waiting on parts...
Thanks for the advice.
 
I didn't realize that they had weaknesses until *after* I'd ordered them.

Only paid $30 for them off eBay, tho.

They'll probably be OK.
 
Yeah, I'm sure the're just fine for most applications. I was actually going to get integy's until I realized that I need more clearance for my project.
 
The integy's do bend. I have 2 front sets on 2 maxx's that are bent. Also, the aluminum is pretty soft, so be careful when screwing your bolts in your you will strip it out. I have at least one hole on each bulk that is stripped un mine... I need to get some new stuff.

i have had my integy bulkheads on my t-maxx for about a year now and i havent stripped a hole or bent one. i also use Hardcore titanium hingepins.

My one set was about a year old, my other set was about a month old... I've had a few pretty bad wipe outs recently.

You running RPM arms?

Must be a good batch. My last wipeout that bent one was on my 21 maxx when it did a flip when it shifted into second. It was probably doing about 30mph and just cartwheeled to it's doom.
