Is it on asphault? If so, I would love to have your setup. I've been struggling a little bit, and the only oneway setup I found online was Thad Garner's. Everyone else uses spools (disgusting!). Thanks.

Tc4 on the cheap TiR on the quality imo.
either way you wont be jacking cvd's daily
and you wont have to resort to steel dogbone

softest:
composite
hpi alum
tc3 shiny
tc4 alum
:hardest
as ramon has previously stated even shiny tc3 bones will bend. this is because the bone necks down to a small diameter right by the ball at the end. it will bend at this spot.
the tc4 alum bone is ginormous compared to all the other avail bones. except the composites, its roughly the same size as the composites just alum. it is by FAR the most durable. running anything else is asking for bendage.
at least in the front. in the rear composites work fine.
i have no experience with the ti cvd's because of the fact that you cant use reg steel axles with them as mentioned above
tc4 blue alum dogbones retail for 21.99 per 2pack (the most expensive of everything i listed above

How much longer do the Tir cvd's last compared to the stock alu versions?
I've been through a whole bunch of the alu ones already. Mainly bending front "bones"...
Then again, the Tir CVD's aren't exactly cheap.

basically the only durable ones are TiR complete cvd's, or tc4 hd dogbone (best to get IRS ones with pincushions).
also with TiR complete cvd's you must use all TiR Parts, whereas with tc4 bones you still use reg hpi axles and std mip rebuild kit (same rebuild kit for ALL mip cvd's).
TiR parts are the best, but also cost the most as well

composite tc3 dogbones
How durable are the composite ones? I would suspect after a crash they would spring back to their original shape (or just break in a really hard crash).
