I have one on the way. I ordered it and maybe twenty minutes later I got the text and e-mail that it had shipped. Can't wait to see what else comes from the new partnership. Avid has the best products and service.

There will be a lot of money made with the Avid bellcranks!

It is at a perfect price!

Still not sure about that product. I've been wanting a solid bellcrank since I've glued my servo saver, but I've seen a buddy strip his titanium gears in his 4x4 SC10. He's not the best driver either, but I think it's been said that most of the shock is still absorbed by the plastic rack even if it's glued.

.... damn i still really want it, looks awesome. could probably take some weights off the front too with the added weight of the bellcranks.

A 6 1/2 lb truck with 4.5" tall tires is way harder on servos than a 3 1/2 lb buggy with 3.5" tall, 1.25" wide tires.

yes you can still you use the inner whole I like to use one ballstud washer after you do the ubrace mod. I noticed with these my car doesn't really fishtale as much down the straits if it is loose. Really a great way to get the edge
