And to also reply to rooker by ''unshelfing the queen'' he removed all the ''pretty'' alumi parts with plastic part or what not a shelf queen is an RC car pretty much just made to keep on a shelt and show off rarely driven.
Exactly. I took the truck from a show truck that was pretty and heavy and slow to a lighter more durable stronger truck to use instead of just something to look at. I agree completely about buying as much RPM stuff as possible. I'm going to do mine 1 piece at a time as I break stuff I'll replace it with higher quality parts. Simple physics kicks in when you add more weight to an rc truck. Hp/weight ratio goes the wrong way. Mass goes up therefore impacts become harder, damage increases. Plastic flexes and returns to it's origional shape untill you reach it's breaking point. Aluminum bends and stays bent. I drive my trucks hard and fly them high.I don't want to constantly be buying or even repairing a bunch of bent up scrap metal.
Best reasons to use pastic parts: Lighter, tougher, cheaper!
