I've gone through at least 4 upper front turnbuckles. I even tried a Ti pair and they snapped just as easily. (I can never understand why people say Ti is stronger because every piece I've ever upgraded to Ti has snapped or bent more easily that the Al or steel one it replaced and I just end up going back to the stock metal anyway)
I killed the servo saver on the crt.5 but then just replaced it with the upgraded aluminum one from Nitrohouse (the Al upgrade parts are pricey but the quality is really impressive).
Has anyone tried the extended A-arms Mike just put up on the site? I am tempted, but no sure how much of a difference .6" is going to make. And if the upper A-arm is now made out of Al and I snap a turnbuckle in the threads I am going to have to dremel a very expensive piece of metal to get it out rather than a cheap piece of plastic.
