They did bend ..........honest :005: forgot to mention that I used aul shock ends too.

Never in 18 months did I bend a shaft on my my Nitro Revo although I did bend a few mount screws, Now I've got the alu mounts on, the screws are staying straight but the shafts are bending, Ive put the stock plastic one's back on tonight..............extreme testing to follow :028:
