The parts support at my local track for the Pro4/Cyclone is no longer there so durability in a major concern.
Now that I have explained why I would like these aluminum parts, If anyone can help me in locating these parts it would be greatly appreciated
I'm no expert driver..and the track I race on is full of boards and dots and beat up cars badly. if you're looking for durability..aluminum c-hubs is not the answer. you will only end up breaking arms. Something has to give. durability...invest in a $10 p-dub bumper before you go out and spend $60+ on aluminum parts. Trust me... I've done the aluminum and it's a waste of $$$$ and the only place to place to get aluminum parts is overseas. and remember too..once those aluminum C-hubs get bent... they stay bent.
