Experienced Installation Required
Integy products are designed for experienced RC enthusiasts. Unless included with the product itself, most of our products do not include instructions. The purchaser is responsible for any product assembly/disassembly, any set-up and adjustment, and periodic maintenance. If you need help disassembling your stock vehicle, you will need to refer to the instruction manual/exploded parts view of your particular vehicle, as provided by the manufacturer of your vehicle. If you are unable to assemble and/or install a product, please consult your local Integy dealer for assistance.
Assembly and Pre-installation Prep
All products will require some prep out of the package. Some items (shocks, gearboxes, axles, etc.) are assembled for packaging purposes only, and may require standard prep before installation and usage, such as shimming for proper alignment, checking tightness of all components and fasteners, installing your own shock oil, anti-seize, threadlock, or grease. Please be sure to apply threadlock on all metal-to-metal interfaces prior to installation; do not just install the item out of the package and assume they have been prepped correctly. Check, adjust, and set/reset all new items when taken out of the package. Some items may need final adjustment after installation.
Wheel and tire sets may be sold partially assembled for packaging purposes only and require standard wheel/tire prep before installation and usage. All wheels and tires require CA glue (if press-fit style) or separate assembly (if beadlock style) before being used. Wheels and tires are not always pre-glued from the factory (unless specified in the product name or description).
A Note About Hardware
Unless specified, not all products include hardware; if new or different-sized hardware and/or fasteners are included with the upgrade kit, those are meant to replace the factory hardware. Extra hardware, shims, or spacers may be required for some installations. Due to factory supply delays beyond our control, certain products may ship with hardware (screws, washers, etc.) that is different from what is originally shown in the website product photos. Any alternates will be compatible hardware that will not affect the functionality of the product.
1st/3rd-party Compatibility
Certain Integy-branded items replacing OEM parts may not be compatible with another Integy-branded items due to design language. Some parts may require permanent modification to the vehicle for fitment and may eliminate certain OEM features. Some items may require modification to the vehicle for proper clearance. Parts are for specified usage only. We do not guarantee compatibility with other aftermarket items.
What does "RTR" or "ARTR" Mean?
When a product is labelled RTR ("Ready To Run") it generally means that the vehicle chassis is assembled, and electronics are installed. You may still need some final items for operation (i.e. transmitter alkaline batteries, main battery pack and charger, paint for the body, etc.). When a product is labelled "ARTR" generally this means the same as "RTR" but without an included radio system and/or radio components. Please refer to the product description for additional details; no additional items are included unless specifically stated in the product description.
Product Photo Accuracy
Products show in photos may be updated at the production level and replaced by updated versions; we will always ship the most recent version to the customer. Colors shown in product photos are as close to possible to the actual item; color matching between parts is not guaranteed.
If they only worked as cool as they look
Thus far, i like these shocks. i've not experienced any leaking, and they look really cool on my Slash 4x4. the reason these aren't 4's or 5's in my book is because the shocks come dry, there are no directions and the springs are too soft. I didn't realize that shocks came dry, meaning, i had to go the hobby shop to buy oil. Because these products do not ship with directions, you have to pay attention to the size/length of the old shock to know whether they are front or rear, left or right. Simple directions could have helped me out and saved drive time to the hobby shop, and installation time by walking me through the process of selecting oil weight, and understanding how to purge the shocks. Secondly, the red springs were partly the reason i selected these shocks. the problem is that the red springs are too soft. if you tighten the spacer, the suspension extends and the truck becomes high centered or the front of truck sits too high. I'm currently using the black springs which are a little harder to compress. The ride height is perfect but the front end seems a little to bouncy. I'll have to continue to adjust until i get the front end dialed in. I wish i could buy the black colored springs (whatever the size or tension) in the color red but i couldn't find it on this website.
