The 3 racing parts aren't that great. In fact they suck pretty much. The only part I liked from them was the aluminum bellcrank. Get the xray drive shafts, your truck will love you for it. The atomic turnbuckles are decent though.

It sounds like you umm.. well to be blunt might not be the best driver . Try getting this front bumper.
http://t-bone-rc.tripod.com/id1.html That extra width and sticking out should help with cutting down on your parts breakage.

You will never see aluminum a-arms. The pivot ball suspension wouldn't work as well. As it is, xray is offering metal nickle plated balls now, so there would be no way to install these on a metal pivot arm.

The 6 cell hold down extension from xray (which will allow 7 cells with a flipped cell) is now available. That should allow a secure holding of a 7 cell (see the graphite chassis xray for an example of how it works-the hole is there on the stock).

Well I've ordered my parts already so i'll just have to wait and see about the suckyness of 3 racing parts. But I'm fairly inventive and I'm sure I can reduce the suckyness, I've already got a set of Xray driveshafts for the front on order but they have taken longer than the rcmart parts to ship.

of for my driving ability, It's OK I would say i'm use to driving 1/8th tho and this thing is really skittish at high speed ( and having a 380 in there = high speed most of the time) unlike my inferno. The DSM I bought the enitre pack the DX3 with the free extra receiver, And It's helped keep her under control. It's alot more flexible than the hi-tec aggressor. The only time I've broken anything which was my fault was a incedent with kerb that snapped the hub in two. The rest is mostly when I've over powered her and something has given like the drive shafts, I've also got a set of titanium turnbuckles comming aswell so i can finally adjust the massive tow in on the rear wheels. and set up the tow on the front.
