If you get alum bulks and RPM arms then you're ganna end up buying hingepins and have a pain in the ass to take out the bent ones.
the rpm arms flex more than other plastic arms, that is why they are not supposed to brake, therefore this flexing translates onto your hingepins
The jumps just bend my hingepins, always, whenever i do 5+ jumps.

if i had 200 dollars to just spend on something to upgrade my truck from the beginning i would take out the traxxas motor and buy an os .18 tm and sell the 2.5 to some poor unsuspecting guy on ebay.
