Default Titanium Question

I'm looking at lunsford stuff for my e revo. Even with traxxas pushrods and other things it says P1,P2, and P3.

This may be a dumb question but what does that mean?

p1, p2, and p3 is the progressive rate of the rockers. The higher the # the more travel your suspension has. I mainly stay with the p2 rockers. I have noticed that the p3 rockers are only good on hard packed surfaces and you get out of shape easier on the rougher terrain.

The lunsford titanuim stuff is some of the best upgrades for the heavy MT. Titanium is stronger than steel and lighter too.

not all titanium are.

lunsford uses Grade5 which is titaniuim allow, aircraft grade.. good stuff. its only stuff you should use. kyosho, mugen, all other brands use cheap soft titanium that's cheaper to make but easy to strip.

There is 3/2.5 and 6/4 which relate to the amount of aluminum and vanadium in the alloy mixture. I'm not sure of the grades.

Titanium has the highest fatigue resistance of any metal, which is why it's used in high stress areas. It'll stretch and flex before it breaks. Pivotless mountain bike frames, jet aircraft, etc.

And, as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Lunsford isnt' the cheapest , but they stand behind their products.
