Yah I tried there bulks a long time back and they were crap. Cardboard painted with pretty paint LOL! I had these chassis braces laying around forever and I broke my plastic ones when I bent my RCraven chassis. So I put them on just to see how long they would last I am very surprised they have...
I thought once removed from the package you voided Integy's warranty LOL! But yes most of what they make is crap. I was completely surprised my chassis braces didn't bend first time out. Guess I just got lucky.
Funny how everyone says the Integy chassis braces are junk but I have a set on my old #4910 truck and I beat the snot out of it and they have held strong. There shocks are crap though. They do have a new product line of shocks but I haven't heard much about them good or bad.
