looking for some frame sliders?

what do you guys recomend for the rc...and is there any point in putting swingarm sliders on the rc since the pipes stick out so far?

Be prepared to cut. I got some from a Parts unlimited dealer (forget the brand) but Sato's are highly recommended. The general recommendation I see is get Delrin if possible. The carbon or metal ones seem to be less recommended. No I have no swingarm sliders just spools I can't see

I crash tested my Intuitives, they held up great

Intuitives are the best bang for the buck I think.
As far as swingarm sliders, I'd get some as well as pipes can bend when smacked on the ground.

Vortex are awesome and the hands down best IMO, but they do not make them for the RC.
