Tip: Verify fitment with your specific model and existing hop-ups before installation.
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 (including hop-ups, tools, chassis and electronics) may 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, confirming gear mesh, 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. ARTR and RTR vehicles must be prepped by the user or a knowledgeable hobbyist prior to the first drive, as some details should be checked prior to driving i.e. tires and wheels are tight, gear mesh is correct, steering servo is centered, etc.
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.

Great New TC From 3Racing!
Purchased the Advance 20M from Integy to try a new mid-motor TC design (couldn't beat the price). Finished assembly per kit instructions, with a couple of exceptions, on Saturday and raced on Sunday. As I was driving to the track, I was originally hoping to methodically improve it's performance all day so I could at least hang with some of the USGT-Class drivers -- I wasn't expecting too much. Instead and very surprisingly, the car was flawless since the first pack in early practice and all throughout the day. I literally changed NOTHING on the car all day long. Set TQ all three heats and won the main. Class was 21.5 USGT on CRC Black Ozite with Gravity USGT Spec Tires. I ran a Muchmore Fleta 21.5 motor. You can check out my fastest round of the day here: http://cganderacers.liverc.com/results/?p=view_race_result&id=2286304# So I'm very, very happy with the 20M! The build exceptions as noted above are -- 1: I used an older Sakura Advance Spur/Pulley combination instead of the 20M one. The 20M takes a specialized spur and the kit's 114 tooth spur was too large to achieve proper FDR. I went with a 91 tooth spur. In order to get the older pulley to fit, I shaved .15mm off the inner surface of each 20T pully just using some metal sanding paper. 2: I stiffened the upper deck using two spacers and screws to tie the top of the servo mount to the upper deck in the front, and added one standoff between the lower and upper deck in the rear. I have not tried the 20M without the stiffening yet. There was no hint of traction roll on the aforementioned Black Ozite.
