I have rc8b and i was thinking on changing thing over to integy allumium a-arms and top arms. My question is if anyone has done it did it help proformance racing or hurt or just make it durable? thanks again for your help

i, dont have a rc8b but if your racing i wouldnt get alum arms it adds weight and if you break something its more than one thing .

i whould say it hurts in the performance and handling dept.

Why upgrade something that is built like a tank? Just keep the stock ones, i guess they are as good -or better- then any aluminum arms. Plastic will flex, aluminium won't -who do you think breaks and gets useless first?

Ali rear hubs and that's it for me.

I've not broken a front hub or any of the arms front or rear..............yet!

They are right no aluminum other than hub carriers

Putting Integy aluminum on a RC8B is a shame !

You don't need to add anything on the RC8B maybe at the exception of the rear hubs.

agree, the composite arms are fine. I'm on my second RC8 and have never broken an arm. I replaced the arms after about 6 months of racing, when they started to get some play. Aluminum would just transfer the strain somewhere else and cause you more problems.
