:eek:Jeez dude , how do you figure ? aluminum won't bend unless you smack a wall at mach 1.
replace the hubs and knuckles with aluminum and you are almost bullet proof:D

Well then your bulkheads would break unless you get aluminum ones then your chassis bends or snaps and/or the screws shear off; well im not looking for a fight; so if you want aluminum a arms you can get them it would also make your truck heavier i like the plastic ones though.

Ok thats true to a point, but aluminum IS stronger then plastic . If your hard on your truck then it's the way to go.
If your racing then lighter is better. True ?:D

I run all alum. upper and lower arms on my Savage and they take a SERIOUS BEATING (BIG BIG jumps, sometimes coming down on one wheel hard) and don't bend, and I have never lost anything plastic that they are connected to either. Amsterdamn's Evader is ALL alum. now and before it was he used to break something EVERYTIME we went out...

just food for thought.

if the guy is running into himself maybe he shoud stay with the plastic ones. you can boil them for 10 minutes that will make them stronger . i agree with HPI alum. A arms will cause other things to break
