I have a curious question to debate and would like to have some opinions on it. I would like to upgrade to P2 Rockers for my Revo but I also want to upgrade the current Push Rod along with the conversion. The main concern is whether I should get the Aluminum Push Rods offered by Traxxas or should I get the Lunsford Titanium Push Rods. The Lunsford Push Rod is stronger than Traxxas Aluminum right? I'm pretty much a basher but, have winter approaches I think I might get into the racing game as well.

What should I do?


Thanks in Advance

i don't think that Traxxas has a guarantee like Lunsford...

Also, the titanium rods will be lighter and stronger to start with.
- So they would deffonatly be better if you can afford it.
- but I dont have a Revo, so i can say weather its nessasary or not.

Lunsford > Traxxas in everything involving metal.

Yeah it is, my bad!

Tititum is quite a lot lighter than steel though, which is what was thinking about.

I've snapped Lunsford Ti turnbuckles in the past. So nothing is "unbreakable". Not that the aluminum would be much better. I'd go with Lunsford since they have that guarentee
