Uh yea


Racers just don’t run them as they are heavier then the stock parts which could slow you down.


Also if they weren’t legal then you couldn’t run nitro cars or trucks (you chassis and chassis braces are made of aluminum). lol
Thats what I thought.

Couldn't tell if you were messing around though. I'm not that familiar with ROAR rules. I didn't know if anyone at the club races weren't going by them. And I didn't know what clas he was talking about, I know buggy and truggy its not, but didn't know about GT and MT.

roar doesnt say anything about those parts
i have just seen some guys selling thier stuff on ebay stating that thier track will not allow them to use aluminum upgrades any more

You're kidding right? Look at LSP's arms. Alum.

GT-they have hub carriers and stuff, same with MT.
brain fart lol
I know its NOT illegal.

I didn't know if aluminum stuff was allowed on MT and GT.

My guess to why some tracks won’t allow those parts is because if you make say the front end out of aluminum then when ever you hit another car that is made of plastic, the car they hit will break and you continue on as if nothing happened.
or the track is jsut hella lame lol
been hit or hit something else to many times thus the switch to the aluminum
"or the track is jsut hella lame lol"
^^I'll go with that one instead. lol

As for alum. i could never understand why they wouldn't allow it! That would have to be the most retarded rule ever. Also that would eliminate everything besides duratrash!

Do you think they would allow Integy parts? They are not really aluminum!
lol integy parts rock the house dude Rolleyes
