Plastic slides over rocks better than metal.. Go with the brass portal covers In my opinion.

WAY over priced! Buy a pair of Yeah Racing aluminum housings for around $50 and add the metal portal bits of your choice.

I went with the "generic" metal parts and assembled mine. You can get the main housings on eBay for less than $20 ea. and all of the other pieces are pretty reasonable too. Then you can go with portal covers as heavy as you want. I like 'em because it let me add weight without stuffing the wheels full and they're stiffer and stronger than stock. I also went with the c-hubs that have the shock mounts built in. Watch out for the heavy knuckles, the ones I got limited the steering too much, so I swapped them back to modified stock ones for now. They really improved my trucks performance and I'm happy with them. But I'm no expert. jim |
