Rear hub carriers

I have integy rear hub carriers. They're not good because integy aluminum isn't the best . I learnt my lesson the hard way. Any other brands carry a similar item???

As far as I have heard Integy is made by GPM so they should be up to par... what happened to yours that makes you say this ??? any bad experience you had needs to be out for others to see.... if possible post a couple of pics so we can see for ourselves

I have never, and I mean never in the 17 years I've been in the hobby, hear anyone say integy was by or related to GPM or that integy alloy is not just shiny junk.

I have had many attempts at using integy in the past that proved the "shiny garbage" rule.

Back when I had a t-maxx, I tried many integy parts and they all bent, literally busted into pieces, threads stripped ridiculously easy or just generally didn't fit right. Even my last integy purchase did not go well and that was rocker pivots last year for one of my revos. The bearing recesses were about 2mm too shallow and for the life of me, I couldn't find 4x1mm shims anywhere. Sure, I suppose I could have destroyed some 4mm bearings, then ground the race down to make my own poorly shaped shim, but I instead took a dremel to them. Hindsight... should have used the bearing race. I've had to buy 2 sets of them, one for each revo... both had the same fitment issue. I was hoping the first time was just a fluke... it wasn't.

That said, I have the rear hub carriers on my X and so far, they have held up.

The metal is so weak...and measurements are not exact.

Is there another company that sells them? Such as flm maybe ...

Didn't locate any from FLM but GPM does make them now still, to be honest they all probably come from the same factory in Hong Kong or china......
Maybe a call to FLM would be in order to find some actually machined and made in the USA.....

HPI made them too... part of a "race conversion" or some such.

Scrolled through all their savage parts, only saw carriers to replace stock that still use turnbuckles.

And gears, steel and titanium, brake rotors and mounts for servos etc, all in all a decent source for those looking for parts..... Just trying to help people locate what parts are available.

I'd like specifics on what you had an issue with on the Integy rear hub carriers. I've had mine for years with zero issues.

I have never had issues with the front OR rear integy carriers on my bashers. on the rears i did cut down a savage .25 diff carrier brace into shims to replace the plastic ones that came with the Integy carriers

that is a bit too much price wise and for so many extra good parts which i don't need.
