I always laugh at the guys who deck their cars out in GPM parts.

Be nice!

Oh trust me I am. I could create an entire thread about GPM parts, oh wait we already do have some, here is one for example https://www.arrmaforum.com/threads/gpm-racing-aluminum-parts.4819/
All I have to say is that I would rather spend the extra money on a quality product than have to replace the GPM parts that I tried to save money on. I already learned my lesson.

I hear you, no biggie. I could say the same with Integy in my years of experience with them.

Some people are new to the hobby and don't know any better about a particular manufacturer like I did back in the day with Integy parts.

They want to upgrade and pimp their ride but have no experience with a particular Manufacturer. Thats why we are here to educate not criticize, not saying that you were.

There's a reason everyone calls them Intejunk lol

There was one integy part I have to give credit to which was the center transmission case for my e-revo. It really was a nice machined example and really functioned as I intended.

I'd use the GPM blx 4x4 tower brace thing if I could get one in a shop near me..
Cool part is so many options with Arrma and easy to ask advice right here when we need it.
As long as it's fun, just ?? imo. I truly wish I knew how to focus on a single truck I own or two. Like Don does?. Would've been the best way to roll in the beginning but I got wild and hard to turn back now. Simple is key and GPM is available at LHS, works ok enough for bling and sometimes easy to fit. lol

Yeah, that's my problem, too many rigs, makes it hard to concentrate on a couple and spreads you thin.

Only upside is you always have rigs ready to go and you never get bored with the same ole same ole.

Yes there are few shiny turds in the punch bowl, but I hate the gamble of hoping you get a good part.

Ditto. I have like 12 cars right now, I actually need to count them again to make sure lol.

Ha Ha, I also have 12, Thank the Lord 5 are nitro or it would be lipo overload!

In my experience, nearly all manufacturers (a few exceptions of course) who make something for a broad section of the market will have a few problematic offerings. GPM is no different from HR, TBone and others in that regard. If find some of their stuff OK and some stuff I just put down to a regret in life that I have learnt from eg front hubs....tick......dogbones.....fail

And that said I'm sure that there will be people out there who have possibly had completely different experiences to me too.

The only gpm parts I have are front and rear hub carriers suspension mounts and brace and haven't broke nothing other than a few stock spur gears

The savage rear axle carriers/hubs are nice as well so you don't have to run turnbuckles anymore. I have them on my flux hp and X with no issues. Also the 4 point roll bar for the nitro revo works well. Better if you raise it 3/4" with stand offs. Helps keep the body alive longer while keeping the cooling head from hitting the ground.

I will say though, if you buy something from integy that is threaded... be very careful as the threads rip out easily.

GPM made some parts on the 4Tec 2.0 that no one else did (the blue stuff) and really helped the wheel hubs stay in place with the big power I was putting through them.
