i would stay away from the alum parts all together...unless you want more 'bling' factor.
the parts cost more and if you bend them you might not realize it...then you will think your car is tweak while you are racing and might not be able to figure out it's just a bent aluminum piece.
save your money for that Team PRP chassis :P

However, titanium pins, arms or legs...that, I can ignore, cause those things can bent easily.........
Thanks for the options............also Thanks Zombies, I will look for JET and HPI stuff...

When you have the extremely high traction situations, like carpet, then you want almost zero flex in any component, as it's not allowing the suspension to do what it's designed to do.
But....
From a drivers standpoint, a more flexible chassis is often much easier to drive. This is because the flex of the chassis often masks the mistakes made in setup. Bad IMO, but it makes the car easier to drive on the track.
At least that's my opinion.....

Erlend- The top deck mod allows the top deck to move alittle freer without get tweaked as easy. I just did it myself, very easy and my car was alot closed to perfect on an MIP tweak board.

He is a pic that Eric posted a few pages back. Just find some 3x20mm button head screws to replace the flat head screws. Do the front and back of the upper deck this way.

I did the BRP bumper mod.
Very easy.
You just cut off part of the little ears that stick out and then use the center whole to mount the bumper on to HPI's plastic bumper. Then you just drill the holes from below and you are done!
here are some pics

For indoor carpet use, that mod is NOT required...they both gave me a 15 minutes long lecture behind that mod, and from the first second they started talking, I was in a complete lost...LOL.
I was kinda slow on this indoor carpet thingy......as well as my front 1-way Pro 4.
