| 1/8" Ti upper links durability
Like the title says I'm going to order some new upper links and am curious about 1/8" titanium durability. Going on an xr10 weighs 4lbs. 10oz. has brood onslaught 45t hhk motors on 4s.

Can't answer specifically since I haven't owned a XR10, or anything that light since my racing days. But, I would imagine this would work with some careful driving however I would only wonder if the extra weight might be worth the peace of mind. On a separate note, and the real reason I replied. Your name isn't Gadayous is it? I've only ever known one "MR. G" although there a plenty of names that start with G. Gary, George, Gkevin, Grobert, etc. Damnit if K's can be silent so can G's. |

I've been running 1/8" Ti uppers for 3-4 years now.. Never had a problem with bending them. Been on all my sporties, xr, berg, even ran them on my scx10 with no problem.

I've been running bent 1/8" ti-uppers on my berg for a few seasons now and still going strong. Rig weighs over 4lbs.
