Hey guys, any idea how good these aluminum pieces are if you've heard about them or use them and if it's worth the money to upgrade?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Oh I misread the descriptions and thought the other mounts were the fronts.They don't make the front lower rear mount and the front upper mount.
GKA and Voltage Hobbies are starting to make suspension mounts, GKA just release the rear rear mount and Voltage just released the front rear upper mount.Nice jewelry, one thing that has kept me from buying GPM is whether or not they're red is the same as Arrma red and it looks like it is or very very close from what I can tell from your picture. My first purchase of GPM parts will be the front upper and lower rear hinge pin mounts. I have cracked a few of these and have been waiting for somebody to start making them in aluminum. Now if somebody would just make an aluminum chassis brace that went from front to rear diffs. I've tried a couple of do-it-yourself versions, and finally came up with something that works. A lot of small modifications to make it all work, but is pretty much bulletproof now. Check out the pics. After breaking the stock rear chassis brace I used View attachment 13390ear links for a double chassis brace and upfront for now just have 1 steel link from the steering top plate to the body support tower. Now if I could just quit hitting things I wouldn't have to do any modifications at all.View attachment 13390 View attachment 13391
I tend to steer quite clear of Chinese shocks, they are usually pretty crappy, but I have never used GPM shocks nor have I heard much about them. Them having 5mm shafts doesn't mean anything, look at their turnbuckles they are 11mm thick and the ends pull out. 3x30mm stainless steel screws for the shock stand offs? And you think the stock ones bend or break easily give those a try once lol. Those screws will bend on the first jump.Did you guys notice the shocks? The shafts are 5mm thick. Well since I haven't broken or bent the 4mm on the teckno shocks, I don't have to worry about it.
Those mailboxes are like trees and fence posts, they just jump right out in front of you lol.Well was going to throw it all on tonight and send out pics... bit a quick drive in the yard ended up in wrapping it around a mailbox post. Oh well. Even more reason to put it on an get some new rpm a arms.
I want to know how those suspension mounts hold up.
My big issue with GPM is the same as my issue with Hot Racing and Integy, some of their parts are good and some are utter garbage. We need to compile a list of what is good and what is junk.
I do know the turnbuckles are no good, the rod ends pull out.
And incase no one knows Alza Racing also makes parts for Arrma. http://shop.alza-racing.com/en/24-arrma
