Any thoughts about this?

And for the shock cap, is it better to use the aluminum for durability?

Thanks

I haven't broken a shock cap and I run the composite units. I don't wreck all that much though so I don't know if I'm the best to give a recommendation. I have always viewed the alloy caps as just bling. And I wouldn't worry too much about the wieght thing unless you guys scale regularly at your track. I have a 5100 mAh lipo and only 30gr added weight. I like the feel, it really rotates well, but a less grippy surface might require more weight.

Hey, greenhell...

Did you die those wheels or paint them? Those look sweet!
