This plate looks like its also an important upgrade. It brings looks and durability? Tell me your thoughts....

If you're keeping the XB on pavement, it's not worth it.

My XB will be on pavement 70% of the time and 20% on grass. 10% on dirt.... So Deluge... does that piece flex? What do you know about this piece on pavement?

If you don't jump it, you don't really need it.

Well... the reason I want it Deluge is because of durability and looks. I do some jumps but small ones. Besides I want my XB to look bling bling too.... with all this is it worth it?

I've installed it on mine. Nice part. Some times overkill just looks good.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Wonder how easy is it to take it off?

 

[Guest]

It's easy. Just a remove and replace part, nothing special to install it.

How many screws? It's funny RCdad... I completely rebuilt my engine and I'm worried about a simple plate? LOL!

Well, I'm all about function over form. And to me, that just adds unnecessary weight. But, to each their own.

Deluge... my plan is to install very little aluminum.... only to where it matters for looks and slight durability. I also do know that having aluminum doesn't mean its better.... so I'm not planning to make it all aluminum.... just some parts only....

That particular part if I remember, is actually lighter than the plastic version.

Fair enough. As long as you're happy with it!
