Can you let us know what hop ups that give you those weight and performance advantage and what does not or the ones that just serve as eye candy?
BTW JABRONI, the pics look really cool.
About SSG graphite, I was told that usually since this type of graphite is softer (more flex), they are made thicker. Don't know how true this is. Anybody can shed some light?
As far as the CVD's go, I did not try them out, however, two persons did. One took a big hit and tweaked the CVD in the middle the other gentelman wants more.
The Titanium shafts look really good and that is were most of the weight savings is. Althought this is a very small rotational mass, it does reduce some weight as well as the engine mounts. All in all it appears to be approx 1/2 an ounce. My pictures of the scale didnt turn out so well, so I will get some more info when I get a chance sometime tommorow.
As far as the Graphite goes, it feels real good and a guy was using a caliper and said they were slightly thicker, however when I weighed it all out, I didnt notice a weight difference and another guy said he felt it was stiffer ?? who knows ??
All in all I got about half of the products that are available and alot of interest is being centered around the Titanium pivot balls as well. I do not have those yet with the delrin retainers.
Time will tell, but the SSG does look sweet and appears to be pretty good quality .
I think the best option is the front upper bumper plate that has an aluminum peice that stays attached to the blocks with the droop grubscrews installed, and the bumper can be removed when needed.
