yes i know, just poking fun at what crap integy puts out and the fact that they basically steal designs like the hustler copy and duplicate other peoples hard work and time in developing a product

Welcome to the world of Integy! It just amazes me how dumb folks are to think they can buy cheap crap and it will work? Of course supporting cheap irresponsible unethical foreign industry/labor/parts is what we do. I wonder why there are no jobs here and we are so deep in debit? Idiots!

Those are inexpensive for a different reason.

I think the OP should take a pic of his truck parked on top of this chassis to show us how strong it is.

Completely of subject (as I was) but while it all might not be total crap most are made using unethical/irresponsible practices.

Is it just me, or does that chassis reasemble the Eclipse at the front and the back?:?

Well I rewelded the chassis back together, after I did that it is actually a pretty strudy chassis, but I still wouldn't buy another one. Next time I will just make my own I think.

I did just reweld it, I just rewelded the broken weld though, I'll wait until the other welds fail then fix them. I'm still in the process of building it though. I will get some pics up once it is completed.

The main section is copied for sure.

That's Integy's gig man...they rip off a desgin, change it just enough to make it look a bit different, and then pump them out with hack craftsmanship. Wouldn't expect any less

Thats to bad they cant put in the extra time to actually make it durable and do it right, because it is a nice looking chassis.

I bought from them once (long before I found this site)- I had to finish machining the bearing race on a set of knuckles they seemed to have forgot about- to broke to buy another set because if I could of- I would of. Never again ! It does look good---from a distance

WOW! Thats really harsh! The guy could have just let it go and not said anything to anyone and then more people might have bought it and been disapointed. Instead he let us all know and even was descent enough to show pics. It is a nice looking chassis and for $35.00 compared to the typical $80.00 it was worth a try IMO. Anyhow thanks for letting us know about it. Sorry for your misfortune but one way to look at it is at least the rest of us are more informed. And you do have a nice looking crawler now. Just my .02

Thanks! You'll have to check it out next time we are at Nicks! It is definatly decent looking for $35, and in all honesty it only took me about 2 minutes to fix it. Granted you shouldn't have to do that to a new chassis, but now I have a nice looking rig and it only cost me $35.

Anything Integy is not the best. We all learn that somehow. My experience was a few years back with my Associated Monster GT. Bought all their crap for it and soon found out that it was indeed "crap"
