They look cool BUT thats about it.They Can bend then they are no good anymore. You can save some $'s and Go with RPM stuff and they are Guaranteed. If they ever break they will replace them for Free..

Also, aluminum typically weighs more than plastic so it may slow it down.

Aluminum bulkheads are a great purchase though.

Some parts like gear covers and stuff look cool in aluminum but thats about all its good for. I wouldnt buy a-arms that are made of aluminum unless it was a shelf queen.

Pro: You have cool aluminum parts that make your truck look cool
Con: it's still a T-maxx[&:]

In all seriousness, there are only a few key points like the bulkheads and chassis braces that aluminum will do you any good on your truck. Other than those places, buy RPM for everything else, and you're good to go[8D]
