The T-maxx sliders were what I was going to do to my Slash 4x4 before I sold it. Its not the aluminum carriers that cause the stub axles to bend. Its the shocks and the stub axles themselves. The stubs are weak for the weight of the truck, and the shocks bottom out transfering the force to the stub. Especially in a rollover situation where the chassis isn't hitting the ground preventing the suspension from bottoming out. I've read alot of cases of people bending stub axles with plastic carriers and it seems those going with 1/8 scale buggy shocks don't have issues with the stubs anymore.
