Annnnd a set of rear tubes come alive. Nothing wrong with the lockout style, but I like the smaller OD possible with the snap ring style ends especially with this setup using small 3/8” tubes with big 7mm shafts in them. I may make a set in the future that fit the roller bearing.... Hope to get these polished up later this weekend. |

I have always been a fan of .187 links, but I will give the .125 uppers a shot and see how they fare... I also usually run bent rear lowers not radiused, but these look pretty nice! Filled all the rod ends with teflon coated aluminum balls. |

Awesome work! Love this Ti Fighter. Even if they are not perfect the look amazing. Yours will perform much better I bet. |

Could probably use a little more polishing but I am sure I will scratch the shït out of them installing the link mounts anyway... |

After losing sleep thinking about which material to make the front tubes out of I finally decided on 7075 to match the rears. Maybe a set of Ti tubes will be in a future Super build, we’ll see...

No, there aren't any perfect cases.... But that's a perfect work you got there. You went the extra mile on those! |
