7075 = the only grade of aluminum that should be used for RC parts.

Gotcha. That is what I thought but wanted to make sure...

I know they use a different grade for the heads (6061 I want to say) but I think it is more brittle. If we don't have 7075 in the shop I will make some parts for test fit and order some 7075... then I will machine the real ones...

Yes I think dummy would be the correct term. I don't know... I can see doing these right taking quite a while. If I have time maybe I will make you a block that you could use to keep that thing on the ground so you stop breaking chit... LoL.

That would be a pain in the ass to try and machine... I dont think I can get it milled at the apropriate angle or I would at least attempt it. I guess I could mill it and then bend it... I don't know what temp you need to do it at to keep its strength though.

That would be kind of nice...like a lead weight. Could I get a lightweight lead weight?Big Grin

No im talking about machining all the bent edges with the machine with no bending so that way it stays super freaking stiff. Il trade you my setups for the chassis. Its win win lol

LoL... The only way it would be close to win-win would be if I still had a revo. LoL I know it can be done but the price would be outrageous and I can't do it with my current resources...

Good thing I'm not in your class anymore...you'd probably be like "oops, my failsafe just kicked in and you rammed my truck taking out your front arms..Too bad huh?" lol...

I am changing the title of this thread to something like "LSP Braces" ? people searching through looking for specific threads that relate to them have no idea what this thread is when it's titled "say I was going to". Some people don't read every thread or post on this board they only search and look through what relates to them.

We don't have the right aluminum and by the time I get the stock and waste all of the time I could have the king headz ones. I'm not making my own...
