I agree that the std steel ones are better in terms of durability. I've change from the alu ones to the steel ones in front even during building up the MRE but kept the alu ones in the rear, as they have a lot lower wear rates there.

You can always slot the holes, which is a pain but it can be done!

I had a few issue with the Aluminium axles... I didn't realise, but mine had bent badly, and were affecting the car on track. Finally noticed it when I saw the extrememe amount of wobble on one wheel in the pits, took the car apart and found both left hand axles to be bent.
Out they came to be replaced with the steel version, no issues since.

my first race with my MSX MRE will be the first tcs race of 2007 in Canada this month.
any one ever run type A tires on carpet before
also does any one have any tips or tricks for 19turn rubber carpet.

My experiences with Tamiya Type A's - inserts Tamiya Soft (blue) or Medium (green) Inserts & apply Paragon FX2 compound (cook it [tire warmer] till dry, then clean surface with cloth & cook it till just 1-2 mins b4 heats). If compounds not allowed just clean it with tire cleaners.
And errr please clean those carpet furs after every heat!

Ball end problem... help..
Im running the HPI Aluminum knuckles on the front for carpet foam setup. For some reason I am breaking the ball end right at the neck section right off the screw when I tap a board. And I mean "tap" very lightly. I consider myself a decent driver and In my last qual last night barely touched the corner and it blew for the 3rd straight qual, placed last overall last night, finished 4th A last week... so yeah... need to know if anyone else ever had the same problem. The screw is inserted through the knuckle from the bottom, in the outer most hole, and then the ball end is threaded on tight, but once I tap they snap at the neck right off. Any ideas.....? Thanks If pics would help let me know I will try and get some up....

Ball end
Hey Ed,
Well I switched to a longer screw last time it broke and it was fine for a bit, but like I said last night was a disaster I barely tapped the corner and it broke everytime. I'm using steel screws with aluminum ball ends I believe. Thanks

They are made from 70-75 Aluminum, should be very strong.

ball ends
yeah I guess I will have to try that, but everyone at the local track is using the screw from bottom setup including all the sponsored drivers and I wouls be the only one switching, that's why I'm trying to understand what the problem is... thanks....
