Just no aluminum arms and you are good. Stick to rpm or stock plastic. High speed crash and aluminum arms don't mix.

I'm not sure for battery trays for infractions as I don't own one. I just know the carnage aluminum arms can do from experience so I try to tell everyone I can not to get them.

I'd suggest staying with carbon fiber for towers or battery trays I'd even just go stock composite trays to keep weight down. The more aluminum the heavier the rig will be. Looks good so far but like I said I'd go with CF or plastic especially for battery trays and small things to keep weight down. As @FatCatRC said stay far away from aluminum arms as even at low speed crashes they will destroy your hubs, suspension hangers and possibly even bulk heads.

oh they do more damage than that bro.....bulkhead exploded diff went flying, axles bent, shocks bent, pins turned into art pieces, all 3 front hinge pin holders, and last but not least sheared the front off my chassis. Trees and aluminum arms do not mix.

Ya point being they will more than likely cause more damage and have no real positive over stock arms in any way shape or form

What should I put in the diff case grease I messed up and put 100k inside the casing not the diff itself I cleaned it now I’m wondering in losi grease will do ?
