Which Aluminum ones should I get?
I'll be doing mostly 17.5 "Blinky" races on a asphalt track medium in size.
The degrees on the upgrades mounts really confuses me.
Plus will I need to upgrade the suspension pins as well?
Thanks
The standard rear hubs (uprights) have 2 degrees built in. So the total toe in is 2 + what you have on the RR suspension mount. Standard one has 1 degree, so you end up with a 3 degree toe in. If you decide to use the xray hubs, take the 0 degree ones, there is also a 3 degree holder in the kit.
For the aluminum holders - the pins are the same, but you will need pivot balls - part 415-02.

As an advice I would say don't buy anything. Just drive it as it is and learn to drive and set it up. If you want to spend more cash (as we all do
) get a setup station and a tire warmer. Or a better servo and radio. This will help you more than any upgrade to the chassis.
