I bought a set. They are stiffer than the AE plastic, and warp worse (more quickly). It is my opinion that the plastic doesn't actually warp, it fractures along the weakest part, which makes them look like they are warped.

I had a set that were really bad (instead of being in line, the inner hinge pin holes lined up a full pin width away from each other) but I tossed them. I sent the rest of my collection to Chris at AE because he wanted to look at them. I think it was 12 sets deep. Some of them were warped so bad I had to pound out the hinge pins with a small ball peen hammer and a punch. When I rolled them on glass, all the hinge pins remained straight. I always check them after every race day (they are already out when I flip the arms).

If you're racing indoor, IMO it's not such a problem because the tracks are smaller and tighter and when you hit something, it's at much lower speed.

You're wasting your time. WC has never seen it because it obviously doesn't exist. This is why I have him on ignore.


Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.
