GH makes some good products. I wouldn't say they are the toughest, but certainly better quality then say Integy. What parts, and for what R/C are we talking about?

I was looking at the Bulkheads for my T-Maxx 3.3!

My LHS mentioned those and just wanted to get a "second opinion!"

I went to a different school then others on this subject.
The bulks on a T-Maxx are one of the most likely parts to brake with a bad landing. Doesn't matter if they are Stock or aluminum, they will give.

I would put my money back into stock ones rather then crying when a set of 40.00 bulks brake.(And they will) If your building a shelf queen, then its a different story.

Now that's food for thought! That sounds like the best/cheapest option to me yet!

I'm really gonna consider your advice Fast Eddy, thanks!

My experience comes from the "Original" T-Maxx.
I have no idea if the 3.3s have addressed this issue and if so how it effects my thinking on this.

Let others chime in on this before making a decision. My experience my be outdated.
 
Something has to give in any crash. If you upgrade to Al A-arms the bulks will break in any serious crash. If you stick with plastic A-arms and get a good Al bulks, the A-arms will be more likely to simply flex and return to their original shape. If they do break, they're much easier to replace than the bulks.

Bulks made of 6061-T6 are cheaper and lighter but more likely to bend in a bad crash than those made of 7075. There are only 2 companies I know of whose bulks are made of 7075 for sure. One is Great Assembly www.greatassemblyrc.com The other is Megatech. They're more expensive than most but they'll hold up.
