Aluminum is tough, but expensive. It also adds some weight. When aluminum does bend that is it, you really can't bend it back to well. Graphite suspension arms and such tend to make your car more responsive because they do not flex. The added stiffness that makes the car more responsive also makes it brittle. So when you crash it does not give it just snaps. If you are just messing around for fun stick with the stock parts or if they keep breaking you may want to get aluminum. Keep in mind though you may be able to get 4-5 replacement stock parts for the price of 1 aluminum one.

Graphites real advantage over aluminum is weight and it's ability to flex and return to it's original form, over and over, unless it breaks.:LoL:

should certain parts I get be aluminum and should some parts be graphite. For example, a friend told me A-arms, knuckles, hubs, can be aluminum. Upperdeck, y-brace thing, bulk heads, and difs, can be graphite.

Then he told me that if I dont crash a lot, all graphite is better. Then he jokingly said, if I crash A LOT, i should stick to plastic and learn how to drive the thing.

This is all for a nitro rs4 mini
