The general conscensus, among anyone who actually drives their RCs, is that Integy parts are pretty, but often lacking durability. I don't think anyone on here has bought one of those crawlers, so you'll have to let us know how it works out for you.

I think that is the same as the RedCat super. If memory serves right, someone has one and busted and axle tube within 5 minutes because of the lack of bracing.

As far as the clod brace goes, havent a clue, but I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to bend up some small sheet metal and make a few.

I have a prototype of the new 1:10th scale 2.2 version, which is made by HSP. This 1:8th version is different than the Redcat super, which is made by HBX. With a different chassis, the Redcat verison could be made OK. It's aimed at the entry level crawler newb though. I'd prefer the straight solid axles of this one over the angled axles on the Redcat though, but these need a support brace or they'll break quickly. |

It's an Axial clone, but the springs and shock oil are waaay off. It also has a 4-link and 4WS, but aside from that I'd bet most parts would be interchangeable between the two.  |
