[funwheels1]

Hey,
Anyone know where you can get aluminum A arms for a nitro rustler?

Thanks,
Drew

Hmm, unless you are building a shelf queen, i wouldn't suggest aluminum A-arms. They can bend, and they will in a hard crash. RPM makes A-arms for the nitro rustler and they are sweet. My friend has them on his rustler and they are awesome. Besides, if they break, you can get them replaced for free!

Dang it, i totally forgot about NewEra!!! Oh well.

aight thanks guys! What do you think about carbon fiber upper chassis and shock towers. Is it stronger than plastic or just lighter?

 

[psunitro]

Stronger and lighter. I would do aluminum towers though. CF upper is fine.I would do aluminum rear bearing carrieres too,I broke a couple of those.

also, aluminum adds a nice look, and its really strong.

I love the SSRC aluminum stuff. They hold up really well.

My buddy and I both had their rear shock tower and they both bent, I know we were not real easy on them but i felt like it should have held up a little longer then they did.

I have done some crazy stuff with mine and its still in perfect shape. I had all of their alum stuff and it never bent, even after landing upside down on the street from like a 6 foot jump.
