Does anybody know anything about them As the price seems pretty reasonable. There is no distributor in Australia but they seem to have all the spare on their website.
Are they reliable, competitive, do they break easy.
Thanks
Don't do it. Buy a used AE/Tekno/Xray before you go down that path. I used to run Caster way back and it was mostly because I was a poor student and got a huge discount. That
SK10Pro is the same as the S10B which was sold here in the states for a while nearly a decade ago.
Compared to a recent gen AE, TLR, Tekno, or Xray:
The arms are floppy plastic that break at the hinge pin on medium hits.
Bearings are too small and wear out fast.
Diff outdrives don't last.
Bulkheads are weak.
It weighs a ton.
