Titanium hinge pins for stampede? keep breaking caster blocks

[hyperasus]

I think you are making a huge mistake converting to nitro. Guess if you already bought the stuff then you'll see why soon as you do it. I've been there done that and quite frankly, I'd rather replace the stock plastic caster block often then go back to the crappy pita nitro style front axles. That link cadima provided is golden so don't overlook it. Looks like they have both the aluminum electric caster blocks, and aluminum bearing carriers. Those are the two missing links for stampede. How is it that I didn't know about these hobbyetc.com guys. Thanks cadima.

I have all Al for my fronts. Had a bearing seize up on me once and the heat melted out my RPM carrier. Now, I just spend the money up front and do it right, do it once.

I dont know what imma do with flm blocks but i think imma go this route.
