Ok, we will get the test units with retaining clips instead of set-screws. Otherwise, dimensionally, they will be identical to 52mm XRAY DCJs.
Take a look at the Tamiya design, it seems very solid. Whatever steel they use is indestructible. It doesn't have any fancy names or patents associated with it as far as I know.
The Spec-R's have been holding up well in mod so far. No shrink tube, and no $50 bends in minor crashes. I don't love the narrow bearing, but the price is right, and the durability seems better.
