Unless you are making a shelf queen, which would make rolex proud, I would stay away from alminum A arms, aluminum bulkheads are a good idea, you can check out the ones Joe sales over a East End Machining or GH Racing has some nice ones too.

I know every one is going to knock on this, but I hat the integy ones and had NO problems EVER! They looked snazzy to.. lol (they matched the blue chassis plate.. hence the snazzy...)

As for a-arms, stay away from aluminum.. BAD idea! Let me tell you from past experieces. You'll break more than just the arm.. get RPM arms for durability and lightness.. and they come in BLUE!!! lol

no my brother has all aluminum parts on his MGT and they are snazzy and never break or i want the rpm arms and some GREEN die would that look sweet or what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aluminum is bad for any area on a truck that receives regular heavy blows such as a-arms. Once aluminum is bent, bending it back will only break it if it isn't already cracked.

Titanium arms, on the other hand, while expensive, are almost indestructible. They flex without breaking so are good for a-arms. I know there's a company that makes titanium arms but I can't think of the name. They're freakin' expensive though -- I think it was like 200 bucks for a single set.

do you think green rpm arms would look cool ????

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Depends on the overall color scheme on the truck. But I like green so I would say yes.

I think you mean Flex Tech or something along those lines... Yes, they are an awesome upgrade. I don't know if they are worth the extra money over the RPM arms though.

I'd worry about a 3.3 swap before making a machine that's under powered heavier. The foc makes a nice difference, but not enough to fool ya! It'll still be a 2.5. How bout some green chassis components and a Grave Digger body?!

i'm thinking of going green also
