Plastic anything is going to break sooner or later depending on what exactly you are doing with your Maxx truck. Most of my Maxx's are aluminum, steel, or titanium now. Using aluminum is some places can be a good thing because it is strounger then plastic for sure, but it also looks really good. using aluminum for some things just does not work because it is a soft metal which can bend and flex just like plastic can. Plus there are differnt grades of aluminum as well from cheapo Integy, to 6061 T6, and 7075 aluminum. The higher the number the stronger the material. If you have an area which is under high stress and you are breaking alot of parts in that area, then you want to go with the strongest material available for that part. The only excpetion to that rule is if you are racing and you want to keep your weight to a minimum. I build to out last anything else so most of my stuff is higher grade material.
