All of the stuff they make for the drivetrain is heavy, adds up to 1 ounce rotating mass if you add the alum outdrives.

everything I had bent slightly after only a few weeks, I ripped it all off after a couple weeks, denny stripped out a few things and had some bend also. One of the c hubs bent about 7 degrees.
Usually when something is to cheap to be true, its too cheap to be good. 18 bucks for alum knuckles is 32 dollars less than the cost of a Good set of alum knuckles from Talmale for my Xray. I looked for a long time and cannot find the kind of alum they use in jet and 3 racing stuff. That too me tells me they dont want me to know.

OK.... Any suggestions for the weak knuckles on the Cyclone? I have found the Square Racing Ball studs to be durable. I guess every chassis has it's weak points so, my question is, what do you guys do to address the problems?
BTW I'm using HB aluminum outdrives.

This was the only place I could find.
http://www.corallyusa.com/specializedrc/bumperz.htm
Or, order from your LHS.
I got mine (2+ years ago) from www.pdubracing.com. But they list out of stock.
I guess next time I see one, I'll pick it up for myself.
