alloy upgrade options...?

[94exa2]

i was looking for alloy tie-rods earlier and only found gpm 0*, but was looking for a 3 or 4.5-ish* alloy tie-rod, does gpm(or anybody make them?if so that be AMAZING for me) also, SOMEONE on here said that the alloy tie-rod acted as a servo saver, but cant find the thread/post. any thruth to this?

also, im kind of in a toss up between getting the gpm alloy strutmounts(upper)[guessing they are the same as stock{ride height} just alloy?]
- or getting the RS race suspension kit(raising/lowering strut mounts) so i can fine tune the ride height for differant occasions, but wondering if gpm or anybody makes the raising/lowering upper strut mounts(if so that'd be AWESOME!)

i guess while im at it, has anyone use the gpm (blue) propshaft spur gears?
right now im running a full atomic drive train(front and rear atomic ball diff, atomic spur gears with atomic carbon shaft) and the spur gears are worn fairly bad, and wondering if i should get another atomic set, or the gpm set?
(also, wouldnt the carbon propshaft be lighter than the alloy prop shafts on atomicmods.com?

sry for the rant, i dont get much free time with now that i have a kid so i spill all questions in one day out of the month, and thank you guys very much for your time!

which chassis are u talking about? the gen 1, evo, truck, or street series...on rc mart all i could find were 0 degree tie rods for the evo and truck, but up to 2 degree toe-in for the gen 1 chassis...i'm not sure about the drivetrain parts you are talking about but i'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have backup parts...

i'm pretty sure he's talking about the evo

all GPM is stock spec.
and yes, the carbon driveshaft is lighter than the aluminum.
GPM makes spur gears, they're derlin, but idk how'd you order some. i suggest just finding your old RS awd spur gears. they'll fit just fine. the atomic spurs are made to the same specifications as the RS kit's.
if you can't find those, then just buy another pair of spur gears from www.egrracing.com
atomicmods overprices things, and those spur gear can be bought for cheaper at a shop that is directly supplied by atomic

well if you still want to buy the blue spur gears they have worked great for me. i have had them for about a year in my lith. car with a custom wound motor and they are still holding strong=)

[94exa2]

well the stock red spur gears stripped very quick, and the atomic spurs are working there way to being stripped right now.....im just wondering if the gear mesh is differant between the atomic and gpm products and which one may last longer.....the gpm ones are on atomicmods...

[Pwnzor1130]

Well, GPM is half the price of the atomic ones. I don't have experience with either one, but if you have had a good experience with the atomic ones I would just say to replace them. GPM may be a bit cheaper in the long run. I haven't used them so I can't be sure.

[sciontc333]

well the gmps mesh up with the stock gears so i think they would work

[Pwnzor1130]

Well, which ever you want to use is fine by me.

[94exa2]

so nobody makes alloy tierods other than the 0* gpm? and nobody makes alloy strut mounts that offer differant ride heights like the ugly green rs ones?

[sciontc333]

nope

[XMDrifter]

hot racing used to make different evo tierods, but i don't think there's any to be had anywhere

I found some right here with a google search: http://www.liquidrc.com/index.php?ma...rvb3bckij0opv2.

I'm running on a lot of GPM parts right now w/ my Xmods Street Series. Very well design and colorful. I haven't run them under stress and pressure yet..I have notice that the screws and bolts do spin loose a times.
