Questions?? Integy vs. STRC
Which one is better?? Why?? I'm open to all opinions. I want to get aluminum hubs, hexes, carriers front and rear, and castor blocks. STRC seems less expensive, but Integy has package deals for my Rustler.

Integy has had some questionable quality in the past. STRC seems to have a solid reputation for the most part. If it were me, I would lean toward STRC. They are a smaller company with good customer service.

As far as Alum parts like rear carriers and other things STRC is better made Alum than Integy.

However to my suprised Integy makes pretty good quality hex drivers ! So far the Gold coating on the tips are good no rounding out ethier.

Integy hex drivers are bottom of the barrel on quality. Garbage tips, and they break like toothpicks.

Sorry thats BS i know thats your opinion but i dont agree. Tips are fine i even had to get a pretty tight screw off to issue at all locktight on it or without it.

Sorry you had a bad exprience with them but i know a few people including myself had 0 issues with them . Now there motors i agree suck and there alum car parts.

STRC has much better fit/finish than integy.

I think the very best thing that Integy makes is their Shock shaft pliers.
