It's crap, it's rubbish, it's poor quality alloy made from recycled coke can, they rip off all the companies that spend thousands on reasearch and development of their parts, any one buying Integy parts are just hurting the campany that make the car the part is going on! :mad:

Think that covers it :beat dead horse:

Their cra..errr I mean stuff is all show and no go. Poor fitment, zero customer support which some seem to be able to deal with considering the price, but the one thing I can't stand is how they blatantly copy other's ideas and undercut them.

Dont think I need to read between the lines on this one...thanks guys....

I have used some Integy parts that aren't bad. I am probably picking up some of their crawler metal ball ends to make new steering links. Just like GPM. Most of their stuff seemed junk until I found their Kross Shocks (had them on the FG VW). My bud has Integy stuff on his Baja for a year and no problems...

So you're happy to support counterfeit products and copyright theift?

I personally don't have any issues with Integy. As far as copying parts...I beleive that this was blown WAY out of proportion on other forums to help promote their own products from within. I look at it this way...If you want to buy it go ahead, if you don't then don't. But please guys, lets not have another bash Integy thread flying around the web, there's enough of them already.

So every piece on every one of your cars/trucks says HPI or Traxxas etc...I think not...every time you buy something that is not made by the company that built the RC you run you are not supporting them..so why is that any different??? this topic has been hammered to death on HBF and I will not break out the hammer here...but to me the entire topic is hypocritical....there is a market for less expensive items or everyone would be driving an Italian sports car...and as far as being a copy they should have got a patent on their item before releasing to the public..

I know the difference between cheap and quality parts sometimes the 2 go together but not in most cases...I also believe...to each their own and bashing anyone for making parts for RC is a bad idea...IMO...Let the people decide thats what I say...for someone like me Integy just wont cut the mustard on hard used parts but some of the bling parts they work great!! i learned that for me if I want my car to survive that I need to spend the money on strong high quality parts...I bash HARD!!!!

Thats my 2cent thanks for reading!!

There are no items on any of my cars that are an "exact" copy from another manufacturer, and I only replied to the question in the first post!

There is a difference between being constructive and answering a question...but I get where you are coming from so no hard feelings not trying to make anyone mad...but I do have another question then do you feel this is a copy??

Now I dont know if it works better but it looks cooler and it is not a copy...and unless it melts dont see how it could be bad...Look we agree on the quality of Integy but when it comes to this part dont see how it could be messed up..just a box with holes in it...

[roccos_van]

Irregardless of what people think about the 'copying'; I have been in RC for a long time and integy products are usually of very poor quality, they sure look great but speaking from experience they do not work as well as they look. That's my opinion.

[fatjay]

They dont make parts for Nutech but they do for the CY motors...Im new to this forum and was just looking for opinions and that what I got..

Thank you to all for being involved

[sickboy]

Just before the thread gets closed:

If you are looking at the "box" type exhausts just keep the standard black box on it.
If you want a decent pipe get a jetpro.

On my 5B I run the xcan due to the fact that it is protected..with the way I run (bash) it works better for me and you get better flow over stock.. dont want to damage an expensive pipe...

[fatjay]

And after being served this reminder about product quality I will more then likely just get another xcan but with side port instead of the rear fire like on my B
