Tamiya used to make the ultra rare hi lift trucks with full metal parts and so on. That's their latest hi left truck. I hope they would release some aluminum hop ups for it.
The name is Alawi. You can call me Al.
Nice to meet you!

You mean the bruiser?
There is also a company that is making aluminum axle cases and other parts too. Stock it has a steel chassis it you didn't know...
Since I finished my TXT project I've built a Tamiya High-Lift, the M-03 Mini Copper and now I'm working on a 2.2 Crawler out of TLT axles. I'm driving my wife a little nuts right now, because I've bought the Mini and TLT this month along with two Mamba Max 5700 setups, OUCH!
nice trucks! i really, really like the scale look of the hi-lift. tamiya makes some great products!
i've got a clod that i have had for years and years. i went from stock to a JPS aluminum chassis and JPS aluminum wheels about 6 years ago, then it broke and i stuck it in a closet.
i finally dug it out last fall and converted it into a nearly full-on crawler - dual 55t lathe motors, big bore shocks, i moved a set of the links so it could articulate more, added a rear servo and have fully-independent proportional steering, and even a custom light set i can turn on and off from my tx. she's sweet now - there isn't much that can stop her!
