Very cool. Be careful driving it though, aluminum arms don't flex and they won't go back to original shape after a hard hit like plastic does.

I have a Redcat Tornado S30 nitro that I turned into a shelf queen with all aluminum parts and she looked great but I changed the arms back to the original plastic to run it. Honesty I should have left it a shelf queen because it's a piece of junk.
