For me, the advantage to titanium H-pins other than a slight weight savings would be eliminating the rust issue.

Just polish the stock ones... they look titanium and perform like steel. Seriously... how much weight savings will you gain?

Is way to eliminate weight savings need... strap in a 7.5...

Lunsford made them. I have a set in my XX4, and while they do bend easier than steel, if you don't smash off stuff all the time it isn't an issue. The full set on my XX4 still roll true on a glass surface.

As for the weight savings, you could feel the weight difference by hand very easily. The main thing is the outer pins save unsprung weight.

Imo I only run ti screws and turnbuckles and I never run them where there is a risk of bending em. Look at any pros car and pay attention to where the ti is.

Yea and the inner hinge pins are about the best place to have a little more weight.

3 gear has been thoroughly tested, and proven to be a nice "addition" to many Of course it may require some tuning to feel good or close to the same. I like mine a lot, and basically have already forgot that I am running it.

I have a set. They've held up well for me. The issue is they're not commercially available.

Has anyone gotten their B5M Lite chassis? I know AE had them and sold out, just curious to see if anyone has tried it

I know of a couple people locally with them.

Looks like I'll need one soon.
