Well the thing is that aluminum looks good, but its really not that great. When you hit something, it bends or sends the inpact somewhere else, like the diff housing which is harder to replace. but if it doesnt send it somewhere else, it just bends, and then you have to buy a new one which is gonna cost a lot more than a new plastic one

I like aluminum. I had a all aluminum Traxxas stampede with a Mamba 7700. Thing was a beast. The stock plastic couldnt stand up to the things I was doing to it. Once I got the all aluminum set-up, I was good to go. But remember this, your only replacing the arms with aluminum. If you hit something again, that force is going to travel else where and break some other plastic part. May just be better to stock up on some stock arms. May even save you a few bucks in the long run.

ok guys thanks for the in put and after that has been said now that you say that about the impact going some where else i think i will go with stock it makes sense and aluminum dose cost more than plastic mabey get a set of aluminum just for show you know for car shows and what not
