Alluminum pillow balls

[Captain Chaos]

:thumbdown I just installed the alluminum pillow balls front and rear in the Revo.Sheared off both front balls on one side hitting the pipes all under 10 laps.I am going back to steel unless you guys can recommend titanium and where to get em.

I installed the aluminum rocker posts also,now I am concerned.Anyone had a problem running the aluminum rocker posts?

How about the aluminum hollow balls ?

I think most on-line stores carry them, I've seen them around alot, so if you have a favorite store, check em out too. I asked a few members about what to upgrade for a basher and they all recommended Ti pillow balls. I haven't gotten mine yet, but it will be the next purchase I make.

I def. recommend the Ti. I broke the aluminums quick too. I don't even know the name brand of mine, they were 20 bucks for 8 of them. I got em' from Evilbay. They did not even come in a manufactuer's package. They came in a ziplock bag!
6 hours of runtime with no failures yet.

I found a set on Evilbay as well about a week ago. I was going to bid on them until I realized there were only 7?!?! I figured I'd pass on them, to get the last one I needed would probably cost as much as the 7 I was buying. lol

Well put the steel back on the one side for now and ran 10 minutes and broke the other side that still had the aluminum.Sheared them both off again.At lease this time there was a cartwheel involved but I will definetly not use these again.Titanium or steel.It seems like a great way to save a fair amount of weight but don't do it.I going to try the titanium.Thanks for the help.

The aluminum rocker posts held up OK although it was only 10 minutes.

Thanks for mentioning that, I was about to ask if anyone has used those and you just answered my question. Sorry you had to spend the money on them but you just save me some so :thankyou:
