7075 = the only grade of aluminum that should be used for RC parts. Click Here! BCE Jammin' CRT - Picco .28, JP 3 Hard Anno, Spek, Air 359 ST, JR Z590 T/B, Titanium turnbuckes, King Headz everything.

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.

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...
