| Choosing between gunmetal & silver hopups I have been having trouble deciding what the right choice is when picking gunmetal or silver parts. I plan to get a silver screw set and also this silver tail light protector Aluminum Axial Wraith Tail Light Protector with Tow Hook Hitch | eBay So i guess I am already leaning towards silver but when looking at the Topcad chassis upgrades the gunmetal looks really nice and I already have gunmetal lower shock links from STRC So let me know if you think one or the other is particularly better looking. |

Alright sounds like the majority prefers gunmetal Anyone care to comment on how they look together ? Will my wraith be weird looking with half & half? I am gonna go ahead and say this is the hardest decision I have had to make for my wraith ! |

First mistake is the top cad low quality stuff, at least use STRC I bought some Hot racing (HR) and top cad parts most of it is you get what you paid for, I even bought a bumper thinking it's a bumper it will be ok, wrong it don't fit very good at all, glad they refunded my $$ on it. but as for color I like silver, but not a ton of it just a tasteful amount. |

Silver, it doesn't look so beaten up when all scratched ;)

I'm not saying all the parts don't fit, but all the stuff I have bought from the cheap places has been crap, the HR tie rods the ball ends fall apart, the bumper didn't fit, lower and upper links the ends fell apart, HR diff cover is very thin and dented easy, so much it hit the ring gear, and the bottom lip got bent up dragging on rocks, HR steering knuckles will not hold bearings very good, so I started buying STRC/ST racing same thing, and much better parts at a affordable price.
