That there are good and bad aluminum parts! SuperMaxx is good and Dynamite is bad!LOL J/K! It comes down to what you plan to do with it and how much you want to spend! Don't get me wrong here I like how an all aluminum trucks looks and in the case of the SuperMaxx runs and races but, the other stuff just seems to be more for looks than anything else! I had some radio interferance when I was braking in my Maxx with aluminum A-arms and it hit a a parked vans tire and it bent the pillow balls on one side and the front skid! If I would have had Titanium pillows it would have bent my A-arms!
I like plastic because it is cheap to replace and it is much much lighter! If you have the right combo of aluminum and plastic your truck will last a long long time and can take some big time bashing!

LOL actualy that truck probably weighs 8 oz more than mine, and I can pull wheelies all the way down the street, or down the lawn, and thats without a wheely bar, and a slipping slipper. I can also jump high and fly strait with all this added weight. My truck is 90% solid aluminum, titanium and steel!! Now dont get me wrong I like lighter plastic parts, but plastic just cant hold up to the punishment aluminum can take, thus why I chose an aluminum suspention instead of plastic.
Anyways I think if you get that truck for less then $450 you will be getting a great deal, but anything over that is kinda crazy, for one that truck has the ext chassis, but still runs the stock suspention width which = lots of roll overs and poor handling.
