I allways wondered what it would be like to replace every part with whats available in aluminum alloy. How much was the stock maxx/after some of the alum. parts/weight of your final vehicle?
If I got all of the alloy INTEGY parts available for the Revo, how much heavier do you guess the truck will be compaired to box stock?

DON"T BUY INTEGAY PARTS! cheap, crappy parts made in china
If you want metal stuff for your revo go with Hardcore. Made in the USA and WAY better parts. Rob's truck is probably lighter than stock. That is all UE stuff on there, No cheap parts like IntegAy RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba

I agree, integy isn't the best. I used to have their shocks on my savage. BIG mistake.

Integy parts are fine for non critical areas on the Revo like shock mounts, tranny skid plate and things that wear out and have to be replaced periodically anyhow like rear bulkhead braces. Other than that-NO!!!

my whole thing is they copy everyone else product. To boot they have chinese factory workers make their product. This means they save on labor and R&D.
I like work to stay in the USA and I like people who develope their own products. I don't/won't buy anything integAy ever again! They are a bunch of thieves RBS5 RB2045 All Futaba

Integy uses a real cheap grade alloy...not sure if its even 6061, I think its cast. UE & Hardcore both use 7075 which is lighter, stronger and more expensive.
My Maxx is 9.4 lbs all alum. (mostly 6061 w/ some 7075) I think Robs SM was only around 9 lbs. RTR maybe less (his is mostly 7075)

can a bad bearing in the diff case sound like a broken diff when you hit the gas?
