Here's some info, sort of like a product review:
Just picked up some Lunsford Ti Rocker posts and installed them. They should be stronger than stock parts. The Traxxas parts are hollow and have internal threads for the cap screw that retains the rocker arm. Because you use threadlocker on the screw it's fairly common for the post to come out when you try to remove the screw.
The Lunsford part is a solid Ti post all the way through the body of the rocker, with male threads and a shoulder. The rocker is held on with a Nylock flange nut, just like an axle nut. The nut is easier to remove, and the post is solid material.
I will be interested to see if the part holds up better than stock. Our truck did have a bent front post from a crash that broke an arm.
