Default Aluminium For B44

Hey there again people,

Just another thought that I would like to pick your brains with.

Has anybody fitted the following parts onto their B44's?

AS9710 Aluminium Centre Bulkhead
AS9784 Aluminium Rear Tower Mount

Are they worth it? What would be the advantages of fitting them? Are they just a bit of bling for the B44? I've noted that the Tamiya 501x runs a aluminium rear tower mount.

What do people think?

Cheers ladies and gentlemen

I've always run myn as stock without any additional alloy parts, never broken or had any problems with the parts you suggest putting on, still got origional plastic ones on that are over a year old and still perfect with no marks on them Just expensive bling really and adds a little bit more weight to your car.

Exactly, I think the car would be weighed down more and be slower on the track. I know people that run aluminum A-arms and stuff, I just dont see the point.
