SuperMaxx is the best but, also cost the most![] You do get what you pay for though! When it comes to changing your Maxx over to aluminum I would not buy cheap parts (I know I have and ended up selling those parts) because they are a waste of money. If you don't have the cash to buy good aluminum parts then buy RPM A-arms and upgrade your tranny.

First thing I do before checking on ebay is look at the local hobby stores to see what they carry and how much. Then I check ebay for those parts.

I would say I am paying 65% or regular price in stores.

GVFD29 I agree if you watch what you are doing on ebay you can get some good stuff at good prices. But you could also pay too much for crap. VERY CAUTIOUS
