Senton GPM Racing parts for senton

[LESTERBASH]

Hi guys, I would like to update shocks, shock mounts and lower arm, I have seen the gpm brand, how is it? do you recommend it? In my case, since I live in Latin America, I would buy it on aliexpress

Some things are ok others not so much. DO NOT use aluminum A arms they will just cause everything they are attached to to break go with RPM arms they are amazing. I just got the GPM steering assembly for my Granite and it is nice. Shocks not sure about, tower braces in pic I've heard are great. Here's the steering assembly I picked up can't wait to test it out hoping my steering improves some.

Thank you very much, I have seen that the aluminum arms even break the chassis because they are harder, I better discard this option

Ya like I said anything suspension stay stock or go RPM arms. I'm hesitant even on the steering knuckles and hubs as again just more weight to cause issues and being metal they don't flex either.

The turnbuckles metal balls too. Stock composite plastic are worthless.

How do they stay together? Not literally, but do the keep tight and not loosen up from the vibration and impacts? I had all aluminum set I picked up a long time ago and the just rattled loose and apart too easy. But these look like the ends are plastic so they may stay tight better.

The ball ends are metal not like stock. Tried Hot Racing aluminum ballends but didn't last

I have the HR pivot balls, the paint/red stuff is worn off, they still work good though. How long did yours last?

No I'm talking about the rod ends not the pivot balls that are plastic. And was curious if the actual spindles stay tight or if they loosen up.

Not that long, maybe 6 battery packs worth. The park I run have sandy soil, very abrasive.

Very tight, can barely turn them plus even if they loosen they can't move since they are counter threaded

I have ran mine through maybe 20-30 packs and they are still fine. I just run in dirt though, no sand.

Aluminum are great for street racing or even dirt track, they're stiff enough to keep the wheels firmly planted, have multiple shock mount points, and won't flex on corners. But yeah, never use them if you're gonna do some serious bashing. They will be the last part to fail.

I bought those a while back and they would.come apart every single run so I put stock back on no more problems. Fwiw
