On the older TB04 aluminium front pilots held up pretty good too. Only the rear aluminium pilots were worse.
The fact, the new part is not anodized, irritates me too. Should be a golden hard coating.

Plus I think it will depend also, what motor you run it with

I like the blue, but the change off bending it, is a bit off a. No no for me, it looks a bit tiny

Front Spool Question
Hello to all-
Last Saturday between heats I had to replace the 40 tooth ring gear and the 16 tooth bevel gear on my front spool. There was a slight clicking noise up front.
The gears were the option carbon graphite and they only lasted two weekends.
Any tips to prevent this?
Do I need to shim the spool differently than what the instructions say?
Thanks in advance!

Car runsgreat when it works,only the gear thing is a bit off an let down.
The manual shimming is too tight for my taste,it will cause binding,with the bearing
