I tried the HPI, GPM, and one other brand Aluminum ones and the GPM held up the best for bashing but gave out....so I turned back to the stock plastic ones and learned to drive better, haven't replaced one in about 6 months if not longer....get on ebay and you can pick up a bunch for cheap....but I personally wouldn't waste money on any Alum one again....

Just buy them in spruce trees, you will get 4 of them so if you break anymore you will have replacements. The tree should cost about $8 on ebay.

I wish RPM would make parts like this for the savage rather than upper n lower arms which it doesnt need. I've broken a couple of these from hitting a unseen rock or root sticking out of the ground at high speeds or landing a jump badly.
