hey , i was thinking about changing all my arms ,rockers, skid plates , what doess everybody think of the integy ones , pros and cons etc... I also heard that the rpm ones are pretty good too. If anybody has any thoughts let me know ... thanks:flamer:

Integy blows. If you actually intend on driving it, get something else. Their stuff bends like butter. It's nice looking, but poor quality.

I run RPM arms, trinity aluminum rear skid, stock center/front skid, traxxas p3 rockers/rods.

You could get away with traxxas p2 rockers if it's a small block revo. I went with P3's to handle the extra weight of the BB I have in it. I haven't run it yet, but it feels better on the bench.

ya i guess i will go with the rpm 's and the same p2 rockers , i have the original engine still . Its good enough for now . I am new still at the nitro sport

would you suggest different axle carriers to ? and i put different shock s. i have blue in the front and purple in the back with 60 oil everywhere

rpm carriers are supposed to be good also..

hey hows that purple in the back blue in the front with 60W working out on big air landings for you? i have 60W and all blues and i bottom out bad

Personally, I wouldn't suggest Integy components unless you intend on your rig being a show truck (like RevoMe's rig). I had a set of the piggyback shocks and, well, they didn't exactly hold up as I had hoped and I truly wasn't even bashing that hard to begin with. What truly steamed my shorts about Integy was their customer service, however. They essentially treated me like some idiot and were very disrespectful, so I think that's what turned me off Integy more than their actual products.

Integy makes good look stuff, but in my opinion, all it is is good looking. The stock arms and hub carriers are actually very, very good on the Revo, so until they actually do break, I'd hold off putting money into RPM arms (unless you find a great deal on them.)

Tekno is another manufacturer that makes good stuff for the Revo as well.

cool , thanks alot guys , I'm going to go with the rpm 's i guess instead of wasting alot of money for nothing.

The only major upgrade I've done so far on my Revo is the Hardcore Racing Titanium full-length skid-plate. The sucker seems bullet-proof.
