Default Integy Wraith mods

Has anyone used any of the integy Wraith mods. How's the quality. Price seems reasonable. I know everyone loves the Vanquish stuff but just trying to get a comparison.

There is no comparison between vp and integy...integy doesnt even heat treat and harden there products. This is why they are an inferior product. Integy parts bend very easy. Not an issue with vp. Hope this helps

obviously,vanquish parts are of highest quality,but i cant justify the cost of much of it.ive never been able to afford stuff because of the name.if you can,go for it.if not ,well there are alternatives.

heat treat the parts yourself.

im one of those that will most likly not have vp stuff on my rig. from what ive seen they all seem to be cookie cutter type outfits

thats not to say vp isnt better or maybe even the best. but not worth price the name gives them. and i guess theres a good or atleast hopefully good reason they have the rep they do.

Well I have seen Vanquish parts on different rc's and the build quality seems superior. I have not had that much experience with Integy but they make a boat load of options for the Wraith.

How are you going about heat treating your own parts. What temp in the oven and does it work?

After you buy the same integy part 5 times you'll wish you had spent $15-20 more on the part made by vp and never have had to buy it again. If you can only afford to buy 1 upgrade every month or 2 from vp that's a much better way to do it than buying cheap shit that wont last.

Buying anything from Integy is like sticking a knife in the back of the honest vendors who actually care about making quality parts and not just a fast buck.

VP all the way! How can they be a cookie cutter type outfit when that build stuff that doesnt break and even if it does they stand behind their product. I wheel with a guy that broke vanquish cv axles with a pro4 and called vanquish about and they sent him a replacement part with no questions asked! So as a far as I am concerned the extra money is well worth it!

I personally was not doubting the vanquish quality. I just wanted to see if anyone has used the integy stuff and what their opinions were. Guess I found out it's crap. Will order some Vanquish

I wouldn't say it's totally crap. There's lots of things that are made no matter what brand I don't ever see them breaking. Example- upper and lower links, you ever think they would really break or bend? I highly doubt it. I don't own and vanquish stuff personally. I see people on here every day building rigs with all vanquish and dumping big money I'm them. That's fine if that's what you want and can afford it but if you want something better than stock I don't believe you have to buy vanquish.

There are other options other than Integy , STRC Rc4wd... but personally i have had no luck with Integy products holding up to the abuse i put my rig through... i Run a Rc4wd centered rear diff axle and so far so good..everything else is VP! VP for Life!!

Yes I've seen plenty of integy links bend and have bent plenty myself. Integy uses cheap shitty aluminum period. I'll never buy they're products again. I learned my lesson when I bought my first AX10

I'm not says integy is great and excellent I'm just saying there are other good options besides vanquish which everybody has. Personally I like to stand out and be different a little.

I haven't used Integy parts in a long time. Their stuff has always been sub par worse then stock parts.
So I thought I would give them a try to see if they were any better. Well no. The parts didn't last a half of a battery pack. It took 6 months to even get the warranty replacement parts. I had to keep emailing them once in a while they would respond. Crappy customer service!!!!!!!!


STAY AWAY FROM INTEGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nope, just experience. Why not save someone from going through what some of us have with integy. Nothing I have ever owned of integy's products has ever lasted.
