As I remembered on the Mid-west series, quite alot of racer (running 705) upgraded all the possible LIGHT WEIGHT parts including this pillow balls, and I saw quite some 705 ended up having the pillow balls (light weight one) SHEARED off at the ball/threaded area.......

Is this one any better then those..........? Because I think I would rather finish the race with just a hair heavier then using these light weight one that are very easy to break.....not just Serpent....NTC3's alluminum pillow ball, Mugen MTX-3 aluminum pillow balls and almost ALL alluminum maded pillow balls are all breaking at the same spot....

I don't really think it is the design, it is the material, and I think that is "You gain one thing, and you lose one thing" deal....
I agree, titanium ones would surely be a lot better.
