i used to run the alum bulks on my maxx and found the new grey plastic bulks work better. i had indegy front and rear and after every qualifier i had to retighten them to the chassis.this is even useing lock tight. i have about 3 sets of front and rear i wount use cuz of this. screws broken inside of them cuz of them backing out. not one problem with the grey bulks after 6 races.

Hate to give you more bad news, but the Integy bulks are the biggest pieces of @$#% i've ever purchased. I snapped the shock tower off them on the first crash. No joke. 5-minutes of run time and they were done. I'm not talking serious bashing, just flying around a racetrack at 2/3 speed (EVX w/Stock titans) and I landed off axis on a jump and it flipped the truck a couple times. No bending, it just "snap"ed clean off. Integy casts their parts then machines them. They are not billet. the gray plastic ones from traxxas are a better choice. If you want/need aluminum buy a pair from http://www.acncm.com/maxxfrbulk.html ($29.00pr) or http://www.fastlanemachine.com ($37.50 pr) both offer vastly superior strength to the Integy. Fastlane offers excellent customer service and a lifetime warranty. Just a reminder. Don not use aluminum body posts. The increase leverage (and increase damage) to shock towers & bulks.
If you have some cash to play with buy the 6061 or 7075 bulks from Great Assembly. They are the best ones on the market today. www.greatassemblyrc.com Supermaxx-Emaxx w/RacerX Suspension, Gen-IV servo saver, Supershocks, UE Ti Center shafts, 6mm UE CVD's, GA Bulks & Diffs, FLM extended chassis & braces, FLM Diff cups, FLM Transcase, HSR Slipper, NEU BL Motor, MM ESC, and More.REVO 3.3 w/mild mods,[/b], a 570HP Procharged and Intercooled '92 Mustang GT.

i bought the traxxas bulks, and they are the strongest things ever, trust me. I beat the heck out of the with a hammer, trying to get a bolt out of them that snapped off, and that is after i heated the boltg for 10 minutes almost glowing red. And never even touched the bulks on e bit. They are very tough , trust me. I got them on now, and they look great
