      yes i have every powerline racing au. hop up on car but i just got done racing and i ran 2 laps with my car with all the alu. and 2 laps with just a powerline alu. motor mount and without all the alu. my time was way faster enought to make me switch back but i like the bling bling anodized look so thats what got me thinking and i spray painted my parts silver then i went and used transparent blue paint and it looks like real alu anodized then i went and sparyed a clear coat over it.

      also i turned my diff into a posi traction system by filling the diff with 5 min epoxy and i found out much to my suprise that it handdled better on the road traks for high bite tracks like house floors new blacktop and carpet.

      i know you must think im crazy but look at the stock weight then pimp your ride out with alu then weight it. after i switched back i was smokein the outher cars off the line and comein out of the turns harder and faster

      so i leave you with these words. when you race in classes whare everyone has the same motor and noone can have turbos is all that alu. worth loseing? the top 4 people only had alu. motor mounts front body mount and shocks. but there whole car looked alu and thats when they told me the tip on how to anodize plastic 😉

      oh yeah i usta use the alu. knuckles and slider but after i put them on my car never went str8 has this happned to anyone on here on the outher fourms 12 people had the same problem.

      thats what im doin. if you want ta make it look like its alu and anodized just paint it silver then use a transparent paint then just clear coat it and it looks like alu.
