501x hop ups

[kustom chris]

tell me fellas the 3racing blue alloy arms and knuckles on ebay would they make a difference to handling or would they last longer than the kit items. whats the deal ? or is it just to look pretty

[GRIFF55]

they would make the car stiffer, altering the handling. Also using these you have the possibility of them bending and not noticing, drasticaly changing the car. I personally would stick with the stock plastic, that way you would know if it has took a hard enough knock to break/bend something.
Hope this makes sense

3Racing stuff is great, when they design their own items, when they just make an alloy version of a stock part, it is normally machined with all the slop in there too.

Plus, you will bend a wishbone, or transfer any breakages inboard.... leave well alone.

thanks men, so what are the best hop ups? ive done the brushless thing would a front won way be worth it any ideas you could give would be great

[GRIFF55]

i race a 501x worlds on dirt offroad and i use a front oneway. i love it. steering and throttle is quicker in corners.
