I have been reading up on this and for the track I am at it seems to be a good idea to use the aluminum brace. Atleast this way I can have the option to change it out if needed but my track is mainly like a dirt bike track. There are several big air triples and doubles where I can hear peoples chassis slapping the dirt. I think it matters most on where you run so for me it may be a good idea. Does that sound about right for making the choice when to use them? Also I read they keep the chassis in better alignment by keeping it straight and not slightly bent like the composite do. I read this on a thread and a guy installed the composite and it would tweak the chassis but he also thought maybe the brace was tweaked so who knows. |

So then should I get aluminum braces over composite for the durability? |

The aluminums are more durable. The composites allow better handiling and are still very durable. Try both and see which one works better for you. |

I think I really want it to be most durable since I have never drove a buggy and plan on some good crashes. I just cant find any items in stock for the rear brace. Any links you know of? I tried: Amain Bmain Stormer Carolinas Trying Helotes but they hardly respond to emails and I have no idea whats in stock since they just list stuff they may not have. I hear great things about them but I am starting to give up on them. It shouldnt be so hard to give someone $800+ of my money. Bmain is the best but they are low on stock on most everything. I did buy $600 from them and they shipped same day so it should be here early next week. Tring speedtech but their web site is retarded and I cant search anything. |

Well that was for the composite not aluminum but its ok. I went to a big race today to check around and behold a table of 4 Xray buggy and truggies so I was able to get a hands on look. They said dont get aluminum that it makes for not such a nice ride on dirt tracks and since they are all out of stock then thats fine by me. I am done waiting for Helotes so I am going ahead with my order at Amain. I tried to give them a chance but am tired of waiting around to had out my money. |
