What brand of aluminum to get

I would have to agree with all the other guys!

Integy blows... I have had integy parts in the past and i was not impressed with them at all! I had aluminum bulkheads from them and both the rear ones have cracked just in 2 months! So..... It will come with experience!
 
I'm still running the same ol integy bulks, run into all kinds of stuff and they are holding up fine. Apparently, they've improve quality last couple years. So many ppl said they use soft alloy but I know I'm rough with my trucks, no problem here.
 
It isn't hard to believe that they turn out a good part every once in a while. It's a pretty easy judgment call to make. A few people that have good integy stuff. Or dozens and dozens that have had bad luck. A little common sense goes a long ways.
 
the ONLY thing i would get that's aluminum is a bulkhead set. thats the only alum thing on my truck, and its damn near unbreakable. i use RPM parts, at rpmrcproducts.com


5x better than aluminum, and if it breaks, you can get free replacements for life, I've never broken anything though
 
Go RPM..If you do aluminum and u crash it will dog walk..and you will have no idea what pieace of aluminum it would be...If you do RPM and crash, it wont do anything...RPM is made to bend

That is true but RPM does not make bulkheads which is one of the notoriously weak spots on a T-Maxx. RPM A-arms are a must I agree...even shock towers but bulks need to be beefier than the stock.
 
hah, you go on about integy and then, on the very thread you link to, post 5 gives a damn good reason not to use integy !! :hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe:

The broken CVD at the pin port ! :hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe::hehe:

Check the post yourself by turbo403 @ beatyourtruck.com Thread, the last picture in the set. Integy garbage at it's best is cr*p and regardless of speed this would have happened anyway ! For those too lazy to check, this is the pic to which i refer

And this quote is from under that picture

an that is/was an integy CVD.... it snapped right where you insert the pin, the rest of the CVD was still secured in the wheel, including the pin..

Not having a go at ya, I am just making a point here about integy............
