I'm expecting to break my c-hubs so will be upgrading to Hot Racing and knuckles. Wheelie bar also broke on my BRCC Saturday when I slammed it at a skatepark.
I'm not disappointed though because I push it pretty hard on the jumps.
Good video and I'm subbed.

Thanks man! I never get too upset when breaks happen. Part of the hobby. ;)

New to RC and so when you say "c-hubs" I believe you mean ATF1901 Aluminum Front c-hubs https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=ATF1901;c=1345

Are "knuckles" the steering blocks? ATF2101 Aluminum Steering Blocks https://hot-racing.com/?partnumber=ATF2101;c=1345

In addition to the front c-hubs and front steering blocks are there any other parts that you rec upgrading from plastic? I have read where ppl say NOT to replace certain parts with ALUM as it will just pass the stress on to another part that you do not want to break. Thanks man.

Yes, Arrma calls em steering blocks. Both of those you linked are what I'd get. Otherwise, I wouldn't get aluminum arms or wheelie bar support or really much else aluminum on one of the new 4x4 1:10 BLX models though I would suggest the Hot Racing Motor Mount Plate so you have more pinion options and can set the mesh better to your liking.

Looks like I was beat to answering this. I'm still going with stock replacements right now. I may go aluminum on one of the pieces in the future, but considering I got 3 minutes of running it stock, I'm going to try the stock pieces again. I have friends work this truck stock that beat on it and have not broken a knuckle. I think it might have just been bad plastic, as that can happen. We'll see.

Into the warranty bag you go!
 
It's a cheap enough part that I just ordered it.
I do the same, but I'm stockpiling all Arrma and RPM broken parts for one big claim. Don't want to burn anyone with shipping costs by going a part at a time.

Did the same all the time & still do. But only for electronics, the plastics I break are usually my fault. They won't cover that stuff anyway. I've sent as many as 4 ESCs, 2 motors, & 6 servos at one time.
