I know it;s only time before the stock plastic A arms, knuckles, Tie rods act. will break, Did most of you wait until they broke or did you just go the Aluminum route from the get go?

Normally I just replace with aluminum when they break,I'm going a bit different route with my new Chimera I'm upgrading some stuff like the drive train to aluminum right away before I even drive it ,I can't even drive it till after Christmas anyway,I don't want it to break the first or second time I drive it.Blitzkrieg said:I know it;s only time before the stock plastic A arms, knuckles, Tie rods act. will break, Did most of you wait until they broke or did you just go the Aluminum route from the get go?
I know the plastic isn't going to hold up to the punishment I'm planning to do to this thing! Part of the fun is modding and changing things to your style of playing!Mycbr6rr said:Normally I just replace with aluminum when they break,I'm going a bit different route with my new Chimera I'm upgrading some stuff like the drive train to aluminum right away before I even drive it ,I can't even drive it till after Christmas anyway,I don't want it to break the first or second time I drive it.
Yes, some flex is desirable. Plastic may break but the aluminum will bend. Either way it's good to keep some spares.chapinb said:Plastic can often endure more than Alum, so don't upgrade and assume it's stronger. I would wait except for a few places. For an average user these could wait too, but it sounds like you may as well get the basics out of the way.
Bearing holders front and rear. C-hubs. If you plan on any sort of power increase, the rear diff holders. Motor bearing housing.
Anything else I would wait till either it breaks or shows signs of stress.
Those bearings will get eaten up with off road driving...Whozenext said:Hello,Merry Christmas
I would like to change my bearings too, I saw some different grades of bearing when I looked for at some websites, I would like to buy those.

And I would like also to change to alloy parts like the hubs, the redcat one are fine or it's better to choose 7075RC?
Thank you.
Cheers.
