Hi sir. I bought a month ago my granite mega and I'm just wondering if the other factory models have parts that are already made of alumunim or is it that the one I purchased is just all plastic? I have attached my granite in this post for your reference. Thank you very much!If it's durability you want, I would encourage you not to do this. More aluminum doesn't necessarily mean more durability. Most aluminum parts have no flex to them, and they do not absorb the shock of impacts very well. They will transfer that shock to whatever plastic components remain in your vehicle. You're just moving the points of failure to other parts of the vehicle.
It's a lot cheaper and easier to stick with plastic composite material for components like A-arms, body post mounts, bumpers, etc. It's better that they break first, rather than bigger and more expensive components like shocks, bulkheads, and chassis.
On the other hand, if you're just looking to bling out your ride, go for it.

So meaning parts like the camber links for the granite mega are all plastic across different versions? I'm just wondering why are other units of mega have aluminum turnbuckles straight from factory and others have plastic ones? Thank you!All of Arrma's 2WD vehicle's --- the Granite, Raider, Vortex, and Fury --- are primarily plastic. And that includes both brushed and brushless versions.
You get a lot more metal with the larger 4WD 1/8 scale vehicles --- the Kraton, Typhon, Talion, Nero, and Senton.

That explains it. If you'll compare both the 2013 and 2016 versions, what will be your verdict as to the performance and durability of the vehicles? I actually own the latest version (all plastic), however I still haven't run my arrma yet hehehe thank you sir!
