If that's not what you mean, please 'splain, as I'm confused. :blush:



Yes sorry, haven't raced rc in about 12 years, been racing full size cars for last few years and on them its call a tie rod end, so yes the ball cups.
While I'm talking about upgrading the buggy, I run it on a carpet track, and looking to lighten the buggy a bit, I will be running a open class and I do have a 8.5 tekin motor(plenty of power) the buggy weighs 1411grams, I like to change all the screws and ball joints to ti, is there a package I can order? Or do I have to order bit by bit? Is there a better choice or any company is good?

now want to see what cav was running at roar, other than kyosho springs... hah

I was relieved to see that he was running green front springs. I suggested to Mitchel, who was also in the 2wd mod tripple A at that race as well, to try green fronts during practice to address an issue he was having under braking at that track and I was a bit concerned it was too stiff. Then I hear Maifield was running them and was like "oh, guess it was a good choice after all". Mitchel was running green rears though. Still blows my mind that Maifield was running gray. Maifield's car must have had infinite steering, lol.

How are these?

And what color are they?

Some of my stock screws are rusted and I like the silver look...

well...just pulled the trigger on one of these. I was deciding between this and the RB6. I chose this one because it seemed like a better value for the price, and I'd like to try something else than another Kyosho.

What is the recommended stainless, silver, and not heavy set?

All I see are these and lunsford, these being $30 and lunsford at an overpriced $100. :cry::cry::cry:

Wildcat1971 02-12-2013 05:25 PM

the kit screws are very good quality. SS is soft and heavy. If you want pretty, get the Ti screws

I think AE does a great job keeping money in racers pockets. The car is loaded for 279. I kinda with other would make "pro" versions of their kits with the upgrades racers use.
