Infraction Stupid RC parts?

Arrma RC's
  1. Infraction
I don't think I realized how heavy their stuff is and there's a few other things I don't think I like. So I installed one of these and a set of these. It added considerable weight. Even though they're aluminum, they're way heavier than the plastic side skirts from Scorched and the OEM tail wing.

Also the side skirts are wide, as in you can no longer set the car on it's side resting on the wheels. The parts look good, and the wing really does look great, I just didn't realize just how heavy there were.

Has anyone else installed these and how did you like them?
 
I have the cheaper stupid RC wing on my infraction and love it. Zero complaints from me! I also have the full limitless kit installed on both my limitless v1 and v2.

Love them! the only things I don't like about them is they can discolor very easily. If you scratch it at all that color is coming off. Stuff also bends stupid easily. Maybe I underestimated how much force is needed to bend metal but I've bent the limitless wing by just barely tapping the curb with it.

I'd buy it all again though just because it looks amazing and I'm a sucker for looking FLY.

Yeah those look great! The stuff is really soft. I had to file a really small spot on one the skirts so the mount holes would line up and it didn’t take much filing!

I’ve used both of these and a few other of their parts, still use the side skirts on the infraction but without that extra lil piece…and yes that rear wing is very heavy.

The side skirts helped me early on with a side-crash into a curb, the extra lip took the impact. After that happened about 2 more times I had to cut off that piece of both sides because they took as much damage as they could. Now they look like this…

Ahhh I see. Are the extra holes drilled in there for wheel wells by chance? I like the look of those silver ones.
 
Had some alu parts, got rid of them. Didn't add anything positive, and looks go out the window once you kiss a curb once or twice. Rear wing makes that butt even heavier and spins out easily. Still have skid plates on, but that's about it.

Yeah I’m thinking I might take them off. Lesson learned. Sometimes you just don’t know until you know.

Any extra holes u see there were put in by me because I was running wheel wells at one point

Oh..?
Do tell.. got any pics of said wheel wells?
 
Definitely do NOT get an alu front splitter. Might as well juggle razor blades attached to bowling balls.
It will slice your bones.
Yeah most of the aluminum parts are just for shelved cars…

The stupid rc center braces and skid plates always get a pass from me though…
