I feel for you bro....
I know the feeling when I had all these option and spare parts for the car and no kit to build....
The kits should be arriving to the shops this week or next....

You can download the manual on the HPI site...while you wait.

Any idea if this Product D stuff they just listed is alum or Ti?

I can't seem to find the manufacturer website anywhere and no details are listed...

They are the stronger 7075 aluminum... these are a bargain at only $11.50 for 2... HPI is $8.00 for 1 I wish I waited to buy my spare bones... I ordered some anyways...
I've used Product D stuff before on my SD...very good quality and fit. Product D is basically identical to Tobee Craft parts.

Do you think its worth it to wait for TIR's Ti dogbones for the sake of weight? I'm looking at some of Product D's other parts too...

all depends on how much money you want to spend... Ti bones may be lighter...just like aluminum they will bend.
very minimal advantage if you're racing...

It looks like Aluminum

Ti is heavier than aluminum, but it still gives you the advantage of steel-like stregth in something close to the lightness of aluminum.

Also, aluminum pin holes on the CVD's wear faster than both steel and Ti. I wouldnt expect AL CVD pin holes to last much longer than a year and a half with weekly racing. The pin holes on my losi CVD's are shot after about a year and a month.

Pounds Per Cubic inch:

AL = .098
Ti = .16
Steel = .28

With so much excess aluminum on the bones... I'm surprised that they don't drill 4 holes instead of 2..... when a set of holes wear out...just switch to the other..saving the racers some money from getting more bones... I guess the manufactures have figured this out...and they'e rather sell you more bones....
