00:00Alright, if you've ever snapped a plastic part halfway up a rock crawl and had to walk your rig back
00:04to the truck, this one's for you.
00:06I went digging through a mountain of listings, checked ratings, checked sold counts, and pulled together the 5 best metal
00:12upgrade parts for RC crawlers right now, and honestly, every single one of these is under 7 bucks.
00:18Let's get into it.
00:20Kicking things off, we've got this CNC machine trailer hook and rescue accessory set, and this thing is the crowd
00:26favorite for a reason, almost 4800 sold with a 4.8 rating.
00:30The best part here is the CNC work itself, the edges are clean, the threads are actually cut properly, and
00:36it bolts straight onto an SCX-10, a 90046, a TRX-4, an RC-4WD, a Redcat TF2, you name
00:44it.
00:45It's $6.08.
00:47That's less than a coffee and a muffin, and it instantly makes the back of your rig look like a
00:52real recovery vehicle instead of a toy.
00:55Next up is the metal tow hook mop built for the E-Kong YK4102 and the 1-8th scale YK4082.
01:01If you run E-Kong, you already know the stock mounting points are the weak link, and this piece solves
01:06that with a solid metal bracket that doesn't flex when you're actually pulling weight.
01:11$5.75, 4400 sold, 4.8 stars.
01:16What I like is that it's a direct fit, no drilling, no shimming, no close enough mounting.
01:21You unscrew the old one, screw this one on, and you're done in about 4 minutes.
01:26Third on the list, this metal trailer head rescue tow hook with the M3 hitch mount.
01:32This one's the versatile pick, TRX4, TRX6, SCX10, 90046, D90, Redcat Gen 8, Scout 2, CC01, TF2.
01:42Basically if you own a crawler, it probably fits.
01:46The standout feature is that M3 hitch design, because it means you can actually tow a scale trailer behind you
01:52and it'll hold.
01:53$5.79, 4300 sold, 4.7 rating.
01:58If you're the person who likes doing scale recovery missions with your buddies, this is the one you want.
02:04Number 4 is for the small-scale crowd, the Mibodeo aluminum alloy tow shackles made for the TRX4M Defender,
02:10the Chevrolet K10, and the Hytrail 118th Rigs.
02:14These are gorgeous.
02:16They're proper anodized alloy shackles, tiny, detailed, and they completely transform how a 118th bumper looks.
02:23And get this, $3.36.
02:26That's the cheapest thing on this list and it's got the highest rating tied at 4.9 stars from over
02:314,000 buyers.
02:33If you run a TRX4M, just grab them.
02:36It's a no-brainer at that price.
02:39And rounding it out at number 5, the one that's actually a performance upgrade,
02:44the Metal Internal Spline Universal Driveshaft.
02:47This is the part that saves your day.
02:50Plastic driveshafts twist and strip under torque, especially if you've upgraded your motor or you're running big tires.
02:56This one's full metal with an internal spline design, so it slides smoothly through suspension travel and won't bind up.
03:02Fits SCX10, Gladiator, YK4082, TRX4, TF2, D110.
03:10$6.03, 4.9 stars.
03:14Genuinely the best value per dollar upgrade on this whole list.
03:18That's the 5.
