Could go stock again for cheap. Should be others who make alum. upgraded c-hubs, axial prolly does, strc maybe? Id check rpphobby.com and see what they have.
HR,STRC, Axial are all good alloy options.
I.got the vanquish c hubs and are very happy with them, but I would check the other options. Regaurding the stripped gear, is he still running the 48 pitch. If so switch it out to the 32 pitch.

you may not want VP but there stuff is all made in the USA, I live about 5 minutes from there shop and watched them machine there parts, they have really great quality products and don't cut corners. You get what you pay for with VP IMO...
Abadk9420 your definitely right. Get what ya pay for.

You will be perfectly happy with STRC. VP stuff is nice, no doubt, been running their stuff since day one of my crawling but they are over priced like crazy.

Yeah I know titanium is crazy strong but it should be hard to break aluminum. And if I go with strc I can get the steering linkage too!

I have a bunch of Cappu stuff on order from Hong Kong now. I wanted to see how the quality was as the prices are 1/2 of the VP products. I already have the VP stuff on my AR60's for my Wroncho but will be putting the Cappu on the AR60's for my sportsman build.
Never bent or broke anything I have owned from Vanquish, Hot Racing, STRC or Axial they are all tuff machined alloy.
I did the EXACT same thing to my Wraith and chose the Axial aluminum upgrade. I have been very pleased with the fit and function. I'm still debating about the cost, but at least they wont break again.

Can anyone confirm that Axial is discontinuing the XR-10?
