Do you think there is any benefit to buying any of the aluminum upgrades available for the Evader? Has anyone done that and can you provide feedback? I realize that the all plastic nature of the Evader is what makes it so light and flexible (energy absorbant?) and that if you do replace a part with aluminum that this part will now probably transfer all the energy to another, different part, and will most likely cause more damage than if the part was plastic. (My son and I are flattening out our learning curve on the Evader so it will be less of an issue as time goes on, I hope...)
I have the aluminum knuckle arms, they seem to be holding up strong and not causing to much extra stress elsewhere. I also wanted to get the aluminum front shocktower to weigh down the front of the car but at $55 I could not force myself to get it.
