Cool, I bought a pair of your slash 4x4 aluminum diffs for my XO-1 project earlier this month and i like them can't install them yet but so far they look and feel great quality. I might buy these aluminum arms for my XO-1 next since my car is still on the old brittle stock arms and i'm between these aluminum arms or the Traxxas HD arms.
If you run your truck into a wall at high speed, arms will be the last thing you need to worry about. These are toys doing real car speeds, a large percentage of the community use them outside their reliable means and they also have no idea what vehicle maintenance is. These parts will cop abuse but they will also transfer impact load to the next weekest link. Drive your cars in a sensible but fun manor and you will be fine.
@@EYESWIDEOPEN00for bashing alum arms won’t cause you to break other parts as shocks are responsible for dampening. Now hitting a wall dead on is a different story and in that case you’ll want plastic arms, cuz aluminum will most likely cause you to crack your chassis or break other parts (agree on that). I use aluminum arms for on-road and on the track and have yet to break anything due to the arms. So how you drive matters as well 😊
A arms need to be plastic to bend and flex on these model rc cars. Hit it hard enough on aluminum the aluminum will bend or break ur next plastic weakest link.... that's why in modern vehicle have crumble zones and break point when in accident.
Misconception for the most part (for me personally). When bashing, your shocks are responsible for dampening the impact (they go up and down as you hit your jumps). So arms move with the shocks. Only time plastic is better than aluminum is if you hit something head on (like a wall). No bend or flex means you’ll probably crack your chassis or something else). But if you can avoid head on hits you’ll be fine. Aluminum arms are also suited for on-road and on the track (from personal experience). Strictly my opinion, and I respect yours 👍

Arms need flexibility. But they look good.

No way they are that good
