Integy Universal drive shaft

[enzo3856]

So back when my stock dog bone sheared I ordered some replacements from Amazon... then when I see it taking weeks to arrive, I ordered FLM super duty dogbones and outdrives from DDm...


Now, my other buggy just has the beefier HPI dogbones... would these Integy units be an upgrade to the beefier HPI ones, or do I do an Amazon return?

I doubt those will be stronger than the FLM stuff. I'd return those , and if you do happen to break the flm, they have a life time warranty I believe.

Yup, FLM FTW.

The question was more about how these compare to the beefier HPI bones...
That is what I have on the second buggy...

I just don't trust Integy at all, they're not well known for durability. I highly doubt they're stronger than the HPI HD bones, it's likely they're not as strong. HPI did a good job of upgrading their designs in the early days.

Awesome. Just what I needed to know.
Thank goodness for Amazon return policy!
Things took a month to get here from California!
