I would love to help you out, but I'm having problem to understand your post. Not trying to be difficult but "muc ad hit te 4-wheee" really confused me. I'm guessing you broke your caster block from the title, what are you asking?

Get rpm parts. Aluminum is expensive and instead of breaking, it bends. Stock plastic is even stronger than aluminum. RPM is just a stronger plastic that will last much longer.

ok ill get rpm, but where do i get the pin that holds the bearig holder

You will keep bending pins if you get the RPM. The aluminum caster blocks are a MUST. The RPM stuf is good, but will flex instead of break most of the time. You don't want any flexing in the caster block because it will bend your pins. I bent a bunch with RPM before getting the STRC caster blocks.

just go with the traxxas alluminum I got them and well have never had a problem so my advise is go alluminum because rpm is great just casters are one of those things you don't want flex

forest_parker · 10-29-2009, 12:12 PM

hm im confused rpm or alluminum? snow board said rpm, others said alluminum. so which and i still need to find pins. whats the difference between rpm and alluminum?
