Are these Aluminum Upgrades Worth It? - Arrma Granite 3s BLX

Broken parts equal replacement parts! If you're into RC Bashing, should you make the jump to Aluminum parts when the time comes? Let's see what it's like!

Arrmas plastic parts are pretty darn good...I wouldn't go aluminum unless you want looks. Imo the only thing I would make sure is metal is the gears.

I do love the granite though .oh I forgot to mention I was adding the arrma wide kit and a top center chassis brace is $50 . Seemed kinda high for all the 4 bags of parts but I understand why they do it that way but sold the wide kit for $30 is a good deal imo . Take some give some .

Metal arms are not a typical upgrade for offroad bashers, can often lead to broken/bent hinge pins and arms. RPM arms are light like stock, more flexible and stronger overall. To help save the body i added a Typhon wing mount and Outcast wing, drywall tape and shoo goo does help alot too. I havent heard many good reviews of those metal driveshafts but theyll probably hold up longer than stock CVDs. Granite 3s is a heck of a machine , mine has served me well for years

Oh completely agree man. If any of these suspension arms warp severely I’ll be getting the RPM arms for certain. The driveshafts I would definitely skip if you can they are so friggin heavy it definitely subtracts from the experience. The aluminum arms are light enough that I don’t notice them terribly! Love my granite it really is a tough boy

Ouch metal arms and driveshafts… just stay with the stock parts..for the arms rpm are good too.

[@beanuno4581]

Nice vid homie… hope to see more of your rc journey.. I’ll be glad to help along the way if you need…

[@Hungrybird474]

Hey bud , I was thinking top chassis brace instead of bottom M2c or kcrc one . Maybe hubs but I think I’m gonna leave it stock until stuff breaks . I was wondering how everythjng has held up ?

[@sammybeddingfield1014]

I would say use plastic rpm arms and go with metal shafts mainly with arms u don't want aluminum but other stuff u can get away with
