aluminum is good for surviving against crashes with plastic cars, but if you crash into a curb or something, the plastic car will probably survive better than the aluminum one because it can bounce back and is lighter

I totally agree. That is why I would never put alluminum on my truck unless I was showing it lol... but I guess its a preference thing. We jump the **** out of these cars and never broke any plastic part yet..

I've been jumping mine like crazy even with the new Pro-Line Dodge Ram body and haven't broken anything lately practice makes perfect I guess.

I don't have any aluminum upgrades but have plenty of plastic spares on-hand

aluminum in the right places is good, like where the plastic parts would consistently snap ... one example is at the knuckles or something , taking the impact from a small place (the axle carrier bearings) and distributing it to a large place (the arms) , its the arms' job to flex, not the knuckles

well thats how i have my car built, anyway...
