I was wondering what is a really good but not heavy alloy. i was thinking of ordering from GPM but what are some other opinions.

GPM is good just don't get Integy or Hot-Racing.

Wepo

As Ive heard bad reviews for both of them

GPM's aluminum is fair quality, but maybe you shouldn't listen to a guy who likes Integy. Be careful when you are buying moving parts, like shocks. I have bought horrible shocks from GPM; I also bought a $14 set of GPM shocks on ebay (you can still find them on there) that are still working great. I have aluminum hubs, motor plates, heat sinks, etcetera, that I recommend from GPM. They have the best bang for your buck, but if you have the money, Fullforcerc makes good parts.

He said dont buy Integy. But also i will be going brushless soon and i am wondering if I should upgrade to aluminum parts? I also want yo know if I should buy the EXOTEK MXT chassis extention or if i should go carbon fiber or aluminum. I will probably get the Mini-T super combo from full force if i go carbon fiber or aluminum. Is that kit a good way to go?

Frozen72

I've head the Fullforce is good. I wouldn't get a Alloy chassis I've only broken 1 stock one and that was a from hitting a curb at 30. I personally would get a Mini-Slider chassis over the Exotek MXT.

what about c/f?

maxxin2.5

dont go with cf unless your racing IMO..
i have a CF chassis on my rc18t right now and the front end part is getting pretty scrathed up...
im thinking about changing it all back over to the stock plasctic chassis..
or i will just put a bumper on the front..
the bummer is though i cant mount a bumper because of the chassis..
doesnt have the right holes..

so anyway i would suggest CF if your racing.. not so much bashing because bashing is what will break the chassis..

Wepo

alright so how should i order my alum seperately because when i order it that way it becomes the same price as what i would be paying for the kit? or should i just go with gpm?

Frozen72

I would get the super combo.

Wepo

With aluminum chassis?

Frozen72

Are you going to bash or race your Mini-T? I personally would get the super combo. You could just sell the chassis if you don't like it.

My Feedback: (5)

I run GPM rear hubs on my mini t (off ebay). They are GREAT......quality is good, and the "big ball bearings" i bought fit in oh so very snug. I will continue getting gpm.

Wepo

I will be bashing. As there is no where to race where i live.

Any reason why the Integy are no good?

I should maybe have read up a bit more. Just ordered a Mini Baja and a Evo X Integy full kit.


Ah well I will chuck all the alloy on and if anything bends I will just replace it with stock plastic. hehe

I know you can get like a kit to almost convert your mini t to aluminum for 100$

It was GPM I believe

Mr. Mugen

K factory is my favorite. They are top notch and their prices reflect that. I have 2 of them almost full alum. One in K factory and one in gpm....the K factory is much much more durable and lighter.
