RE: New Aluminum - Work in progress @ TST
I think if these goes over well the next logical step would be the front door type mounts (c-hubs). Then the rear hubs.
I dunno that's just my personal opinion.

Haha, glad to hear you agree man. But I'm just curious. Where do you want to go after this Topspeed? I know i'm probably jumping the gun a little, especiallyconsidering you're still testing the steering arms out, but there's nothing like a little speculation.

Hey bluecaka69,
Are you asking about 02021 & 02022?
If so, they look to be easier than the steering arms pictured in this thread (02014).
At some point I'm sure we will need the arm holders then titanium pins and so on..................... where will it end?
At the moment, we'll have to deal with the current problem areas/parts.

Thanks guys, we've been working hard and we appreciate that you recognize our commitment
to help improve these nitros and have fun doing it.
And to answer your question, Popper252, we are already making the door type mounts and rear hub also.

Good stuff here guys!!
I can't wait to see the final version and hear the reviews!!
I just upgraded my radio, receiver, and servos to a Futaba 2PL setup, so now I am ready to make the buggy tougher!!
Oh, my vote is to leave them in their natural state.........or purple if we have to vote on a color.

Should be, the aluminum arms will be a direct fit. Same size as the plastic and will use the same screws.
Nothing diffrent other than the material it's made of.

It wouldn't matter to me if you made them only available in pink, I would still buy them! I bet everyone that has the STX truck has, or will, replace the ones that come on it. I barely tagged the wall with the tire and one broke.
