| Anyone built off an Integy chassis? 1/10 Steel DIY Roll Cage Tube Frame Chassis for Axial SCX-10 & AX10 for R/C or RC - Team Integy Looking at this one in particular. Seems to have lots of holes for damn near infinite suspension adjustment. Wondering if anyone has utilized one of these and if so, had any pictures for reference. |

| Re: Anyone built off an Integy chassis?
Integy likely has the worst reputation in RC, a lot of their offerings for go-fast RCs are junk; and they are the antichrist of customer support. I will normally only buy Integy if I cannot find anyone else that makes (or has available) the part I am looking for, or I don't want to/can't make the part myself. With that, the crawler/scaler Integy parts that I have bought recently have been pretty good. I have a welded steel roll cage for my Sl4sh that is very solid, great welds with good quality powder coating. My guess is that this chassis is likely built by the same group, and should be ok.

The thing is there are so many good products out there now from local, (well local for you guys in the states) that you shouldn't spend your money on junk when your just gonna have to spend money again on the same part. Save and spend one time that is my thinking. You wanna build a good chassis build a Toyzuki set up. You will be blown away by its performance and durability. Just buy something that will last and keep in mind this is just my opinion but the research will point you in the right direction if you do enough. Good luck

Just remember you get what you pay for! I have lived and learned buying cheap stuff to save money and nobody can tell you what your budget is or what your going to use it for so that is for you to decide. There are a few guys on here that build the, and you don't need to spend $600. Also post up in the classified section and you will be amazed at what pops up. Good luck

I'm really tempted by the $70 Bomber chassis. There's no one on here that comes within $400 of that price. It's steel rod, how bad can it possibly be? Weld it up if it comes apart. I don't think there a more substantial part available for $70, or anything I could upgrade on my Bomber for the same price. Must resist the temptation |

| Re: Anyone built off an Integy chassis? Realistic Scale 2.2 Roll Cage for 1/10 Axial Wraith All Terrain Rock Racer for R/C or RC - Team Integy I've been eyeing this one for my Wraith. I'm curious as to how heavy it would be. Reviews online are not very informative, and the old adage "you get what you pay for" doesn't always apply. There are good things out there that do not cost an arm and a leg. These are put together in China, and I too wanna know if they are a big No no. Like has been stated, if you break it weld it back up. If you cannot weld, then this might not be the chassis starting point for you. |

I just hope we hear from somebody that has actually owned one of these, and perhaps a person who drives it somewhat aggressive. Or Maslin can just man up and take one for the team. Just sayin. Its only money, 70$ test run.... |

| Re: Anyone built off an Integy chassis? With Integy's reputation for producing crap, everyone is gun-shy. If I were in the market for this kind of chassis I would take a chance for 70 bones.

| Re: Anyone built off an Integy chassis?
I've got 2 of their older ones. Their old SCX10 chassis I received in a trade and a cage for the summit. This is the one I have: http://www.integy.com/st_prod.html?p...1#.WW17LogrKM8 Both are straight and even, and the welds look solid if not especially pretty. Heavy though, all solid rod. Unless you're building a crawler/trail rig and like a heavier truck (I do), I'd stick with the stock chassis. On a side note, I cut up the SCX10 version a bit and used it to practice brazing. Changed around the back end quite a bit. Was a little intimidated with doing an entire chassis from scratch and figured it would be a good learning experience. Came out pretty good actually - it was a good starting point for modding into my own and I didn't feel all that bad about hacking it up. Last edited by OSRC; 07-17-2017 at 09:07 PM. |

It would be cool to see a bomber chassis built up. I would buy one if it looked good. Plus it would be a good excuse for me to finally build one. |
