Alloy wing mount = good way to break the rear shock tower/wing
Steel hinge pin for rear = they're already steel, don't know what part you're referencing. if you're talking about the bracket, yes, get the alloy 3-degree toe-in model. steel's not needed
Alloy hinge pin for front = are you talking about the bracket?
the steel rear hinge pin brace is an item i had made.. it is a 3-degree brace and last 100 times longer than that alloy crap... and yes i have done my own tests and review..
its called a front brace.. not a bracket.. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXLXX9&P=7

alloy wing mounts wont do anything other than save the wing mount... i have never had a shock tower broken ... and im not a perfect driver... in the past 2 years of racing.practicing,testing the vendetta... i have had to replace the wing mount many many times... since changing to alloy,, this has stopped..

maybe you just do more bashing and are rougher on the equipment
again, if you're tearing up your stuff and think alloy is crap because you don't like them that's your choice but it hardly puts you in the realm of the only expert on the planet just because you've done your "own tests and review" ROFL
didn't I read here or somewhere else that you had let your shocks go to the point that they hadn't a drop of oil in them and that your diffs had been neglected long enough they were all but locked up?
brace, bracket, whatever <rollseyes>

in 2+ years of racing not only haven't I ever broken a wingmount, I've not seen one broken either.

also I race and practice on a dirt offroad track,,, and all the other guys that have run on dirt have experienced the same exact problem with the rear brace.... I dont bash!
as far as the alloy wing mount goes... when running on a 10th scale dirt offroad track,,,, u will flipover,,, misjudged a jump... or u may take a jumpand not realizing that the new slight imperfection that wasnt there a lap ago has now upset ur suspension and causes the car to do strange things in the air
as for my shocks,,, I have been very busy with work and only get a short time to play with my detta.... I knew I needed to change them,,but just didnt
and my diffs I take great care of.. and never had them lock on me

Don't ever post in my FS threads again. If you don't like the price keep it to yourself. You have proven to be an idiot already a few times and you have only been here less than a month. Get a life.

i luv my slash and my ST also serves its purposes.
but if someone's going to be so willy-nilly and change their mind so quickly its my guess that the'll be moving on to something else next month or totally out of the hobby by then

I think his decision was based on good information and facts....
It takes about $300 to bullet proof and prep a Vendetta ST....
Not including the cost of the ST. Being it is only sold as an RTR you have to purchace some basic electronics that are worthless to an experienced racer....I know I have one ST and one Monster Shark I bought in Germany....

All RTRs need upgraded electronics as they all come with bare-bones basics, no difference from scale to scale and none have any value to an experienced racer.
By the sound of his posts, he didn't sound experienced or a racer.
