Status: offline 		Is there a 1 stop aloy suspention kit available for the MLST? I have seen alot of the parts sold individualy, but not as a complete kit. If not, what is a good brand to buy?

Thanks for any help!

The only alloy parts the MLST2 needs are front c hubs and steering knuckles , anything else is just bling and added weight .

Take the money you would have spent on the alloy and buy an Exotek chassis , servo , and a MIP ball center diff .

Status: offline 		You best bet when upgrading to alloy, is wait till you break a part TWICE, then upgrade.... that way you dont waste money and add weight with unnecessary aluminum when plastic is strong enough... if you have money burning a hole in your pocket and you MUST upgrade something, carbon fibre is the way to go... its stronger AND light, and you cant bend it like you can aluminum. (when it bends it goes right back to straight....)

The stock plastic one flexes under big BL power. It makes the gear mesh inconsistent and causes gears to strip. I have all 3 gear cases alloy now and don't have a problem with stripping gears on 11.1 with a wraith 7k.

The monotuning Suspention kit is a true 'one stop' for an alloy sussy setup. Includes longer dogbones as it stretches the track 10mm, making the truck far more stable. You can get it from 'The Toyz'. The arms are mentally thick and only weigh a tiny bit more than stock, which is to be expected as they are physically larger.
