I've read a lot of good things about these, and some even seem to swear by them, so I finally got me some.

Ejector Pins (for making hinge pins)



Man these make NICE hinge pins!! After making a few, I realized just how BEAUTIFULLY they fit compared to the Titanium pins I modified...they made the Ti ones seem like pure junk! The Ti pins pushed through really hard, seemed to catch and grab, and a few even seemed stuck (and the truck has never even been run). But the Ejector Pins just glide right through like glass, and are a very precise fit...even at 14" long they do not flex very much at all (once cut to length for a hinge pin though, absolutely zero flex!).



With VBS & RacerX it took most of a 14" pin to make all the uppers, and about 2/3 of a 14" pin to make all the lowers. I was guessing two 14" pins would complete 1 whole truck, assuming no mistakes. Turns out there is room for error. Nothing wrong with a little extra.

I will be using these on all of my trucks, for sure! Got all 8 of them made for the VBS/RacerX setup on the Predator last night. EXT Suspension truck is next. And I got enough for my next build too
