That's bling for sure!

So these are the new proline 40 series.. If Leroy didn't had that idea, they wouldn't be on your truck..

Thats o.k. a few jumps and your be using the integy for L shape brackets. And your body post are going to break as well.

Just an FYI keep the bumper and body mounts plastic. Saves alot of bent aluminum from happening.


Truck looks good. Good job!

Very nice truck. But the thing that sucks most for me is when the truck is super clean, then smashed a bashed and the bling is gone.lol

Until its cleaned once again :p

You might want to sell the Integy stuff now on Ebay. New, you'll probably get really close to what you paid for it and then you can use that money to get the FLM.

And they have a wing mount holes built in them. The new flm are alot stronger than the orginal and have more shock adjustment. The new FLM towers are the stuff. JMO

And i also noticed that FLM uses a different grade of aluminum than they first did. It's harder for sure. (makes it easier to machine as well)

I love my FLM Shock towers, you can really tweak your shock position.
The only thing for me is that I like to run My body very low and the towers are pretty tall. I found that some of the truggy bodies allow some room for the towers so I'm not taking them off.

If you haven't seen them, check out the Duh! Engineering titanium low towers. He doesn't advertise them for Maxx trucks, but I think he should. They have mount holes for Mugen wings, and are low enough for bodies to sit at below chassis height on Gorilla or other inverted types. No more exposed batteries!
