Black or grey?

[Austin2048]

What traxxas plastic parts are better? The black plastic or the grey plastic? I'm buying a new front skid plate for my t maxx but I don't know if I should get black or grey. I wanna buy the black one cuz I like black better but if the grey one is stronger I'll get that one. They are both the same price

grey or black

I personaly like the black better but I believe there the same strength. If you go to www.fastlanemachine.net they hav some really strong skids for cheap.

Do aluminum skids take crashes better than plastic? I know plastic can bend when it's hit and bends back into shape or cracks like mine did, does aluminum bend back to shape like plastic does? I'm getting an rpm front tube bumper so I don't know if it would be hit very much

I'd go with the RPM skids...they weigh a lot less then aluminum ones and are probably more durable anyway. Cheaper too....

Once the aluminum bends it stays. You can straighten it out some with a little work,but then it's weaker than it originally was.

Rpm skid plates don't cover what the stock skids do. As shown in this picture they just add more protection to the stock skids
