RPM Revo axle carriers any good?

[BrianG]

If you don't have trouble with the stock carriers, I would stick with those. However, if you drive aggressively and like to slide around corners, the stock ones don't hold up too well (for me anyway). The RPM ones work very well but are quite expensive. The only issue I had with the RPM version was threading the pillowball covers in.

Yeah, the crash did rip out the carrier, so I am going to have to replace it anyhow. Cost isn't that important for me, as long as it will be more durable (which is what matters for me). They have bigger bearings as well, which is only a good thing, so maybe I will get them.

thanks!

Or is there an aluminum kit you can buy from tower hobbies that any knows is good?

I know there is an alu set that many of the racers on the TRX forum use. RD Logics? tho i think its some other "R" name. Search it there maybe.

The only complaint I remem about the RPM ones it the tendency of the pillow balls to rip out of the plastic, thus many racers use alu in the fronts. I having had any probs w/ the stock size bearings in mine, my Emaxx ones used to grenade fairly quickly tho.

My electric revo is approaching three years old (counting the year and three months it was Nitro) and still on the origional knuckles and bearings. I have hit everything with them pots, trees, mailboxes and one time a real car tire at more than 30 MPH, all i have bent or broken were pushrods or front arms
