If the car needs them because it breaks without hitting things then its a poor design an quality of manufacturing...

Bling alloy parts will only stress other weak components in the chassis/suspension leading to repairing other parts + price of bling

Or just get a decent car in the first place

Think i proved on Sunday how strong the Losi is, repeatedly dropping it onto hard objects/floor from 30ft in the air and it would still finish a race

Before it's said... the reason it was beaten by 2 Blitz's was the quality of Smithy and Brooky's well seasoned driving talent compared to mine.

A battery strap is designed to hold a battery in, velcro straps will do the same job, quicker to use, lighter and cheaper
Know all that. I never understood the need to fitting alloy wishbones and shock towers. Alloy bits just move the break point to other bits of the car, usually the more expensive parts such as the chassis.

It's also not about the strength of the Blitz, can't fault it, I never managed to actually break a wishbone or tower or anything like that.

The Blitz has an amount of slop in the suspension and steering and it was more of a question as to which of the upgrades actually make a difference to this aspect of the truck.

Alloy battery straps are just for bling, and more to the point how the hell do you bend a plastic one!?
