I fully support what Sam is saying.
In ALL RACING FORMS there are "Trade Offs"..
Light wieght has ALWAYS mean't less durable or shorter Life. " ALWAYS "!!!
In R/C just Like ALL racing, trade-offs can be advantagious and WILL
always be some dis Advantages usually deadly ones.
Thats Racing. Wake and smell the Coffee Boys.
Your Racing HIGH Powered Machines. Not Toys'R'Us cars.
At 30,000 RPM , Steel doesn't even hold up some times, its just to much
mass rotating at a MENTAL speeds.
So think twice before complaining about Upgrades.
Just remember " Lighter usaully means Faster but more Fragile".
Sure there are some exceptions like Titaniun Stuff but the trade off there would be $$$$ CASH.
Anyway, its good to learn from this and be wise about it.
Sometimes we think of more and more speed and we forget about
durability and our wallets.
P.S: In addition I would like to say I've enjoyed reading up on this forum
and truely respect you guys for sticking together.
Good Job.
