Mucho metal to strengthen and trick out your 4X4.
Hands up if you dig anodized aluminum parts. OK, let’s see…yep, every single one of you raised your hand. No surprise there—who can resist a little bit of hot-rod flavor under the hood via machined aluminum baubles? Bonus if they actually boost strength and durability, but even if all you get is style points, that works too. In the case of Atomik RC’s pile of parts for the Traxxas Slash and Stampede 4X4s, you get both. These plastic replacers are stiffer and stronger than the parts you’ll take off, and just look at ’em— sparkle city, baby.
