Are RPM RC products good? I was looking at there products and I heard an article say there nylon parts are stronger than aluminum parts (nearly indestructible and have lifetime warrenty). I want stronger parts. I Like aluminum because its light, strong and looks good but cost more. Does anyone have RPM products and can give me advice. Are the nylon parts lighter that aluminum? Thanks. Danny

aluminum is actually heavier than plastic. i dont like aluminum on 10th scale or smaller due to weight and if they dont break they bend! only rpm product i own is their bumper for an 18t and i have faithfully beat the @#@# out of it for 3 months no issues even full head on crashes with oak trees going 30+ mph lol

Well also the downfall to aluminum parts is weight, they bend, and also if you fix it with aluminum I would venture to guess that something elese will break becasue what keeps breaking is absourbing another piece from breaking so there is a big downfall to upgrading to aluminum parts
