Has anybody bought jazrider parts for WRAITH?
They are cheep and look good in picture,but i'm afraid of their quality.

Looks like rebadged TopCad stuff. Probably not to bad if you are just looking to beef up your truck on a budget, but test assured that it's made in Hong Kong and the quality will reflect that at some point.

I would stay away from those parts. I purchased the "performance kit" and it all broke within the first month of owning it.
I had to shim the chubs and knuckles to take out most of the play in them.
The c/v shafts broke running the stock motor
The lower links and steering links would fall apart where the ball ends mount.
The are bulky and have a ton of slop in them.

I can't speak for their bumpers and other frame parts... but if they are made like their suspension I wouldn't buy it.

I bought a top cad bumper for my Wraith, it did not fit correctly, I sent the Co. a email, they said yes it fits you have to warm the rails on the rig and bend them to fit, WTF? I have a VP CMS and the rails will not move the 4mm, so I asked if they had another style I could try? they sent me pics of a integy bumper, I asked them if they were the same Co. ? the reply was yes they go by a few names, top cad, Integy, Hot Racing ect.... and I think this one is the latest names they have, in the end they refunded my $$ and told me to keep the bumper, I put it on my beater left over parts rig I have, but it sets on there tilted to one side, but it's a beater, I will never buy the cheap junk again, BUT the CS dept. was great responded to emails very quick, and answered all my questions.
as for cheap parts if you don't want to send big $$ I'm very happy with my STRC parts

I've had my link's and steering knuckles for a few months now and am very pleased with the performance for the money and have more topcad on the way.

I bought their drive shafts. What a mistake. They don't quite line up and the pins round off after 2 turns. Now they are stuck on my tranny. I may have to buy a new tranny as I can't get the pins out. I may try drilling out but don't want to damage output shafts on tranny.

If it looks like cheap junk it normally is, I wouldn't run this crap even if it was given to me.

The driveshafts looked ok but the threaded pins were crap. I ended up having to drill 2 of the pins out. Gone back to original Rubicon RTR shafts.

Links look like re-branded HR links which use those crappy keen-serts press fittings which last minimally when you apply a little pressure. Build your own for cheap or buy VP-Ti.

topcad,integy,asia tees,etc all cheap products to begin with but vs VP,Chaotic,blue monkey,dlux, any material from these vendors is 100x better than that garbage!!! Don't waste time & $$$ ti all the way!!!
