What aluminum aftermarket part would you like to see made (again)
I'm thinking about making aluminum after market parts for the T-MAXX. I was wondering, from these options, what one would you like to see most? Remember, this will be my first part. I will go down the list as time goes on. Thanks.

We've got plenty of that though. We need some good quality shock towers! Im pissed at myself, saw a Racer's Edge front tower for $4.00 shipped on ebay and no one bid on it till it ended, should have bought it but I dont want to spend anymore on my truck[:@][:@]

you need to make it out of a metal that isn't brittle, it it's cracking without bending the metal your trying to use is to brittle.
if your making after market parts i'd like to see some better a arm pins, preferably made out of titanium, alloy ones seen a little week.

Thanks for the input. I think I'll start with aluminum, then if there's enough demand for certain parts, then I'll make them out of titanium. This stuff would be very cheap, just a little more than the cost of materials.

Thanks for your input. I think, due to price, I'd start with center skids, then go to shock towers, then bumpers, then I'll look into other things. If I go along with this, I'll make 4 extended center skids, not just tranny skids, but the ones that cover from the front skid to the back skid. I would keep one, and sell the other three for like $10.00 each. Remember, I may not do this, but I might, and probably should. So, we'll see in a couple months.
