Mini frustration

[robmob]

After countless times bending the front tie rods on my mini-t. I finally had to get some new rods. The stockers were bent and straighted so many times that they could not be straightened any more. So I got some titanium rods thinking they would be much better.

Wrong.

The first time out. Not 30 seconds into the run. I clipped a board. No biggie. Looked like the ball end popped off. As I got closer I was in for a surprise. Ball ends were still attached. The POS titanium rod snapped right in half. WTF.

Now I am going to get a new set of stock rods. At least they bend so I can bend them back. Oh, I also need a new ball end since the titanium rod snapped off right where it enters the end. Not even enough to vise grip it out.

Sorry for the rant.

Jakes has a huge selection of Lundsford ends. Match up a set to fit and get some full size cups and balls. I guarantee they wont bend or snap. Everything they are connected to will but the rods wont.

Looks like I will be making a trip to Jakes next weekend. Thanks for the advice.
