If I were to add anything aluminum on my XXX-T, it would probably be the front and rear pivot blocks and maybe the rear hubs and front steering buckles. Thing is, you add alot of aluminum and hit something really hard your gonna bend the aluminum and the initial shock of the impact will probably break the plastic or graphite parts connected to it. Might as well break one part rather than replacing a bunch.
I'll second that, well said.
I have an MF2, I have only replaced the front pivot plate with a Trinity aluminium part as this is a weak point IMO. Other than that, why are you planning on smacking this thing full flight into a wall? A 3.5 will be absolutley insane in a straight line! I run a 5.5 and the front wheels spend more time off the ground than on it!
