It was solid. That surprised me.

I don't think 3 racing have the best quality control.
I've ordered a couple more and if they show up hollow, I'm going to gorilla glue a rod down the center. I'm going to cut a small piece of steel to insert into the grub screw dimples so it doesn't damage the shaft also. I'll send results after testing this theory also.
