What parts are you making? Remember, when you go steel/alum one place, it makes another the weak link. Been there done that!

Nice Pede by the way! What all do you have done to it?
 
ummm...

Well right now I am making shock towers for front and rear with body mounts. Next will be front and rear A-arms. Movin along slowly but surley. I just bash around with it, don't race it at all.
 
Please resize your images to no larger than 800x600.

And what happened to that hard hat, looks like the wearer took a few good shots in the head, lol.
 
I personally would just keep the RPM arms. Making alum ones will just transfer the impacts energy to the blocks, and they WILL break. The RPMs will give a little. I have done this before on my Storm, and it caused more problems than it solved!! But I did make up towers and they worked great. But hey, if you want to, do it! Thats why I got into RC, so I could make stuff.....its fun
 
Well...

The hard hat belongs to my girl-friend's son. LOL Thanks for your advice about the A-arms. I think I will keep them. Anything else that can be done to this Nitro Sport? I noticed that parts from the rustler also fit! Thanks again for your thoughts!
