Hey, just got my rc18t a while ago and i decided to replace those older plastic parts on it to give it some more strength. Please tell me what you think good or bad, just dont get to carried away...

I like it. Are you considering adding more power?
 
Alloy is great until your cartwheel it.. then the alloy bends due to the weight..
If you want a shelf queen, then great, but for bashing you cannot beat the cheap and functional Associated chassis, suspension arms and shock towers..

for now, I'm sticking with the super 370. I have a new mini max that i havent put in yet, and not sure if it will make a big difference.

the only thing I dont like about aluminum is that it snaps and doesn't bend like plastic. I like the look a lot better tho. LOL.
 
It depends on what you want to do with you RC18T/MT.

It is a benefit for certain parts to have the part replaced with aluminum but not all. If you want like a blinged out ride you can bash, I don't see why not. It all depends on your taste and what you want out of your 18T.
 
i agree w/ cvec that thing looks great!
