Its kind of a pig right now
Perhaps that's because of the pink shell with the ears and the curled tail on it..?

Squee;

the weightsavers you mentioned; (i searched and searched for them too, to put on my future to be revo)

the aluminum pillowballs are a no-go, they break too easy
the cf hingepins are nice, but they get ruined by the aluminum plates that are on the bulks, and the aluminum turn-buckles don't hold up too good either.

that's what i read about them, not from my own experience, but it kept me from buying them.

I think if you search enough, you can find someone saying something negative about just about any part. I feel like every part as an upside and a downside. Sometmes the downside is just cost... and even the expensive parts wear out sooner or later. I have no personal experience any of these either, so I'm not saying you are wrong.

Although, The aluminum pillow balls just seem like a bad idea to me.


SQUEEEEEEE!!!!! Isn't that the sound my pig (revo) should be making??? :027:


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly

Well, I would run the aluminum pillow balls because there light, and I don't break many parts at all. So I shouldn't have any problems, but others might. As for the aluminum turnbuckles, I'm not sure, I doubt that there anywere near weak. The pushrods are VERY strong. I bent 2 titanium pushrods, but not the aluminum ones...If the turnbuckles are anything like the pushrods, there shouldn't be a problem. As far as the hing pins, I'm not sure. What you said makes sence, but I don't think they will wear fast at all...I would use a Carbon Fiber rear brace anyway, so that would cut wear down in the rear.
