I got bitten!

Well it happened. I got bit by the alloy bug lol. Originally I was planning on putting a combination of some plastic and some alloy parts on my truck because you guys are telling me that alloy parts will kill the performance and they will bend. Well after I put some of the new pieces together and looked at the result, I am so impressed with how damn cool alloy looks that I want to eliminate every single piece of plastic on this thing! I dont care what anyone says alloy is where its at!!!! I may have to rob a bank to afford all these parts but I will get them if its the last thing I do!

A big part of this hobby is making things the way YOU want them. If you just want the looks and don't care if you sacrifice durability/reliability then do it and get your enjoyment :thumbup:

Thanks buddy! I'm gonna put an engine with so much power that I bet it will still be faster than the average Savage!

you can look good and still be durable if you use the right combo of plastic and alloy parts .

YOU CAN DO IT!!

I would love to slap some alloy on my rigs but its too pricey at a possible risk of F'n it all up..

I have no bloody idea why I built the truck in its stock form only to take it all apart again to do the alloy upgrades lol. DUUUUUUH!!!

Look at this way

Atleast you had the opportunity to assemble your truck so when you get that bling and if something does not look right then you'll know and won't be trying to put a square part in a round hole. LOL.
