Yes, buy them as soon as you can for your build, or I might buy them myself for future builds :D hehe. You never know what might happen in the future, maybe you should part out this alza build since you haven't touched it in 3 months :D just kidding hehe.

I use this shell:

Reinforced with amazing goop and drywall tape, allthough it has still cracked on a few places but I have fixed it. It is an old picture, I use RPM arms now days, I have two set, blue and black just in case I break something.

 

Truck it dope, some few things I don't like are the lower a-arm screws, they are all bent a bit due to the 6mm spacer you have to use when mounting IRC shocks on rpm arms. What else, the servo saver suck despite HD spring, I tighten it a bit more today because the servo saver engaged all time when turning. The tp 4070 107mm motor has alot of torque and is 8s rated but I still have to run heatsink and fans to keep it cool which was a surprise, I thought it would run cooler than my 4092 1730kv motor but apparently not. I jump alot so it puts alot of stress on all components so breakage is not uncommon and I make tweaks and fixes all time, but that is the price you have to pay running custom trucks on 6s with big moters :D .

The IRC shouldn't leak, and IRC have issues with quality control I think. I got two IRC diff cups and the outdrive sized in them for some reason so I wanted a refund and I got it. I also missed a few parts when I ordered my big bores so I had to wait extra time. But now I am set.

 

RPM arms are nice, but MadMax arms are better they are nylon and stock design, search for YY-Mad Max arms on ebay. I refrain from using the IRC lower mount blocks because you will need to drill the a-arms in order to mount them which creates a weakspot on the lower a-arms. The IRC 6mm spacers with Mad Max arms is the best setup I think. I use RPM arms with IRC 6mm spacer and it works okay, only issue is that the screws will bend when jumping. I personaly haven't had so great success with either stock arms or RPM, maybe it is the cold that makes them brittle, it has been a long winter.
