What about al diff cups? Those work better than most other. Will you swap the ones on your flux out for plastic?

Ok, I apparently I worded my statement poorly. Aluminum has its ADVANTAGES in certain parts of RC vehicles, but when you turn it into an aluminum basher *cough Integy whores* and then people bitch about stuff breaking more often and how much more it weighs, I can only roll my eyes.

Sorry, dude... Just my opinion, but Aluminum bashers are awesome!.... Love my 100% ALuminum E-Maxx.. All FLM and UE parts..... There are lots of different grades of aluminum too..

I've been using angle aluminum for quite a while too... I've never even thought about using C-Channel aluminum....Great Idea.. Do they have C-Channel Plastic?

Yes - look at McMaster-Carr, they should have a selection.

Frostbite.......I'z jist bustin' yer chops neewbie! I'd typically agree with you on the aluminum stuff. My interest in it this time is for looks. I will use plastic on most parts that are susceptible to damage - ie., arms, bulks, etc - of which will possibly break even if it were aluminum.
