Money,,,,its a Gas...
For an average, weekend racer, backyard goof off, RC hobbyist, are the RPM products more than good enough?
I have looked at many of the other sites (SM, American CNC, and a few others) and based upon what I have seen the RPM products offer nearly as good a product (as good in some aspects) to the higher priced aluminum versions.
Am I just being snowed here or is it neccesary to spend loads of MONEY to have a fast, strong, reliable truck?

I personally dont have any RPM products on my truck. but thats because its got the Proline A-arms. They dont offer full skids so i dont have those. i just recently bought new AL knuckles but i know RPM make some. I chose to go with AL shock towers because, after bulkheads, i belive they see the most stress, and didnt want to have to deal with cracked plastic/nylon (whatever) (even if they do have a lifetime warrentee)
i know a LOT of people swear by there product so it cant all be hype

I think RPM is great stuff, especially for a basher...I've got RPM arms, skidplates, shock towers, and front and rear bumpers. I've never had any problems and with as much abuse as I've put it all through I'm impressed.

Cheers Rigas , see that equipment on plenty of trucks. What material are they. Are they as good as they say? I am thinking of replacing any broken parts with something a bit better, without emptying my bank preferably.
