Do the a-arms hold up to extreme beatings like the plastic, or will they bend

[MrFowla34]

@aForkandaSpoon well after racing i went to bashing. never bent on me, however the screws did like to loosen themselves up. other then that this was a very tough machine

[calitvscreen]

hey bro! are the stampede tires good at all, do they stretch like the originall ones that came with the rustler? how much were the alloy arms? i want some too, and thanks for giving me the idea of putting a sticker on the bottom it looks nice!

[MrFowla34]

@calitvscreen they are more agressive and the dont balloon as bad.  the arms i think were 20 or so.

how do you find the talon rear tires i think the stock ones wear down way to quickly mind you i did go on tarmac a couple times

[MrFowla34]

@ammo1985 i didnt like them, ended up getting gladiator tires.

The only bad thing about all the aluminum is it;s weight and if you hit something it's going to bend and not break like the plastic will. So then you will have to spend more money to get that part you bent. Just saying not trying to be a buzzkill or anything.

[cullenburchartz]

that alloy makes it so heavy :(

[austiniversen]

how much where the back and front shock arms

[NeonKing45]

One day your going to get in a crash and bend 1 piece leading to bend another and so on....

Good video though:)

@LiveFreeOrRIP I have multiple RC with FLM arms and alloy casters as well as links and knuckles, needless to say FLM has liftime warrany and as well as no bend guarentee and if it does, they replace it... for free. Ive rolled my rustler doing over 70 mph and havent broken a part yet. ive even bent the output 3/16 inch metal shafts, but never my alloy parts

[aForkandaSpoon]

@MrFowla34 Well, the ones I would order would have the clip things on both ends and no screws, so sounds good to me

@xXShadowRejectsXx RPM? I have ran 20 rcs with RPM gear and the only time its "" Breaks """ is in the winter when its -20 deg out. Also RPM gear is 100% Guaranteed. IF anything breaks ever just pay to ship it to RPM and they send you a new one. RPM is very good in some spots and aluminum is good to in some spots too. If you want to see show stopper check out my RC8BE FT. thats the real deal..

RPM breaks. nice truck!
