12.9 is hardened steel, not SS. The ratings are 12.9>10.9>8.8. Most RCs come with 8.8 (at least TRX does.)

As Jerry said, SS is wayyyy softer than steel. The 18/8 stainless alloy is good for making utensils, altho I think my spoons are 18/10 even at that. Personally I wouldn't use them in any RC apps where strength was an issue.


OTOH, awesome truck. About the prettiest I've ever seen. G/L
