    I'd avoid the Integy bulkheads. If you really want aluminum bulks, go with a higher quality manufacturer's part; a nice substitute for a little style would be the ST Racing aluminum knuckles.

    For wheels and tires, Proline Masher 3.2s are great, and they look sharp mounted on the old old E-Maxx wheels (part 4972).

    Make sure you also get stiffer springs if you get the Big Bores. Gold is a good starting place - not too soft, not too firm.

    Integy bulks arent quite as bad as integy arms. I believe they have a hd version on some parts, but generally, its good practice to just steer clear from integy except for heatsinks/springs. Make sure u get some offset wheels. The 3.8 chevrons are great for any terain.

    i got integy bulks, and chassis brases on my e-maxx. they do take a pounding. only those parts are ok for normal bashing


    i know what everybody says about integy. maybe its not for the serious bashers who try to launch there e-maxx way over its limit.

    put on what you like.

    i do have hot racing bulkheads on another e-maxx, and they are sweet. the center comes out so i can change the diff quicker. i like to mess with possy diffs n stuff.

    I have the RPM shock towers, and just like all the other RPM products they are awesome. But the more I bash and the more I read I am really seeing the benefit of have a good quality set of aluminum shock towers. The RPM towers flex a lot and can be the cause if bent shock shafts.

    Once I save enough money I'm getting either some FLM or UE Knucklehead towers to match my FLM bulkheads.

    +1 on staying away from Integy stuff. Like Dr J said… Heat sinks and springs may be fine, but the rest I'd stay clear of.

    You got some FLM bulks?
    I would get the RPM true track in the rear.

    No, not yet… Sorry for the confusion. I'm going to get the aluminum towers at the same time I get some FLM bulkheads.

    True track is a sweet addition to an emaxx for sure.
