They have aluminum wing mounts for my Losi xxx that I want. I never got them though. I actually thought there prices were pretty steep. Is this the same place?

no the Dragon racing i am talkin about primarily makes parts for truggies and buggies. http://www.rc-dragon.com/catalog/ I just got my 3 shoe racing clutch from them today and even though i have heard mixed reviews about the chassis's they make the clutch parts fit perfect. Cheap too. 13t vented bell, 3 blue alluminium shoes, springs, bearings, and shims for 34.00 shipped. I can't wait to run my x-1 crt and see how they differ from stock set-up. I'll be looking at getting the rear arm holders from them next.

IMO their parts are crap. They claim their chassis's are 7075 alm yet the one i bought for my Jammin was warped beyond use after 1 day of racing....My stock 6065 RTR chassis by comparrison is still perfectly flat after more than a year and a half of beating the snot out of it bashing and racing....

OK then i'll add to that...I also tried the 6mm CNC Dragon shock towers. Both bent like butter. The screws acyually left impressions in the alm where they bent, and the upper shock mounting holes started cracking between the holes before i replaced them with CNC Ofna parts.

That was only after 3 or 4 times running.....
