I will have to check out the muggy links (friend has one) and see if they are beefier. The Lst ones look pretty wimpy, and the ball ends break (plastic tears around the ball). Anyone make good al knuckles? Is there a good brand of al hopups? Not interested in the arms or bulks, but the knuckles look like a good thing to have in 7075 or something like that...

I just asked him what knuckles he wants and they are the new era ones. I asked why and he said because they are the best. I still don't know why but it's worth looking at.

On the turnbuckles here is the info http://hdrcvideos.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=10884

Thats where he gets his info and I added to the post above about the turnbuckles (lst forums).

Truckbasher, they do make a real 1/8 scale esc its called an mgm 160.24...just because it's to expensive doesnt mean it aint real. Call mike and ask him what he thinks of the 160.24 he has been brutalizing one in a 12 pound savage on 6s and it never flinches. Just because castle dont have a reliable 6s car and truck control doesnt mean one doesnt exist.

My bad I forgot about that...though I hear a few of them also got up in smoke.well I am on the process of ordering the 16025-3 Z series to try for my self... I think they changed the models.

ohhh i never said anything about the price

Yes, but the MGM 160.24 is out of stock .

How's the 160.18 compared to the 160.24?

Ok cool, the price is the biggest problem with the mgm and I think its the root source for most of the negitive reactions that the esc gets...its just a big hurtle for 98% of the guy's out there and so they dont even want to acknowledge it's existence...I wish mgm would lower its prices by about 25% and add a couple more features (and they might). At some point castle will work the bugs out of their monster and when that day comes they will be scattered around my work bench like skittles (mmmv5??).

Might not take them that long but they need too work on a better BEC internal and External..... jk
