ok so i got a tmaxx 2.5 older version I'm guessing but i want to upgrade to alloy suspension arms n stuff integy has a full kit but i dont think the arms will fit because i recently bought some uppper n lower arms that look exactly a like that my stock driveshafts were binding up on the lower arms were the shaft goes into the steering knuckle has anyone done this conversion and if so what kit did u use and did u have to change front n rear shafts any help
 
No no no don't install any integy products except for their 3 shoe clutch. Install rpm a-arms and you should be all set. Integy products are soft and will bend or break easy. Their looks will get you but it won't last.

Well, I had a hard time reading your post.. you might want to use some punctuation.. it may help us understand you better. Everyone here will tell you what I'm about to say: INTEGY IS GARBAGE. If you want better suspension arms, go with rpm. Plastic is the way to go, they absorb impact a lot better than any alloy arms out there. RPM's stuff is thicker than stock, and last much longer. Do yourself the favor of staying away from integy.
 
Alloy bulkheads, bulkhead braces, servo guard, center skid, chassis rails. RPM arms, towers and axle carriers. RC Solutions spring steel front/rear skids. New Era 3 point roll bar.

Stay away from integy anything. IMHO, all of it sucks. Pretty too look at, but soft and bad tap job on all threaded parts.

Golden Horizon has you covered though:

Good stuff to be found there.
 
thanks everybody for your input on the integy product i kinda figured they were crap because of the way they just said this 3035 kit would fit my truck but the arms i purchased at a local hobby shop were made same way and i dont want too waste money so thanks everbody that responded to my post and ill be looking into the rpm brand today and maybe ill get some pics up after I'm done with it
 
Good call on integy parts. I had them on my e-maxx and I quickly got rid of them (atleast the ones I didn't break)...
 
Awesome choice to stay away from that stuff, and id say follow to the t what olds said. He recommended the same to me and I'm workin on gettin the alloy bulkheads n skids now, but got all the rpm stuff like he said and its all held up except the bulkhead cuz I've been replacin with factory stuff til I can get the alloy. Also on that note thanks again olds you saved me some headache there when I asked lol.
Glad to have ya here tho and look forward to seein pics. Oh and before ya ask don't worry about turbo or superchargers. The answers no and stay away from em lol.
