Wow, integy is pathetic. The only difference i see in tires is they cut a line in the tire

the axles look like tamiya clods......

I bet its actually the exact same kit as the redcat, doubt it wouldnt be hard to just go to the chinese factory with enough money and ask for the same thing.

I believe there is a thread around here where a guy twisted a tube from the gear case....on the first or second run. Terrible design.

yep this thing is just an expensive Chinese toy

most parts are cheap plastic ,tires would be rock hard,not real bead locks only lookalikes ....even the wheel hex is a weird size apparently
so good luck trying to replace wheels or tires or any other parts

add a few more bucks to that listed price on this crappy thing and get the XTM crawler if you want a super

A good deal if you like spending money on toys that break. Big question, can you get parts? No supports to the axle tubs, won't last one good rollover.

good points, It does look like quantity not quality, but it would be nice to get into a super for under 300. Dont get me wrong I wont be buying one

This is NOT the same as the Redcat super crawler, but they may well have come from the same factory. I know the "Professional" version crawler Redcat had at ihobby was identical to this except it had orange anodizing.

The Redcat uses 23mm hexes with virtual copies of the Moab XL beadlock wheels/tires. The rubber feels very similar to the Moab compound, and actually had some grip to them.

Don't even get me started on Integy, they are the absolute worst business in existence, their products blow, their customer service is almost non-existant, and their warranty..... well, it sort of speaks for itself (taken from Integy's own website -

Integy Inc. warrants the *PRODUCT against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for 30 days from the original date of purchase except if the product is intended to be installed on a vehicle. If the product is to be installed on a vehicle, Integy Inc. warrants the product against defects in material and workmanship for 30 days before the part is installed. This warranty does not cover crash damages, rollover incidents and incorrect installations. The buyer is responsible to inspect the product before any installation process is started. Once the part is installed or partially installed, either correctly or incorrectly, no limited warranty is provided by Integy Inc.

So essentially, if you take the part out of the package.... warranty gone, how friggin stupid is that?

Not to mention, that probably over 75% of their products are counterfeits of other companies hard work, just a bunch of greedy assholes. Supporting Integy by purchasing their crap, only encourages them to steal MORE companies original work and ideas, don't support counterfeiting, just say no to Integy.

Hello everybody
I'm new here and i had to join to make a comment on this truck, this is the same exact truck that is sold by HSP "climber 4x4 unlimited class rock crawler" 1/8 scale. theirs a different body and wheels. there's a place in Australia that sells these on ebay. i know because i have one and the axles are close to a clod, but the gears are different enough so you cant interchange :? any parts, its a descent truck for the price but it is cheaply made. the aluminum is good:-P hahah and it crawles over allot of sh!$.
