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.
