eBay titanium shock towers.

[Arrma Addict]

Basic edm cut and go. Sad part is 1 min of a flapper wheel and chamfer bit would make it look so much better for production. Would take longer to wire burn the part then to clean it up. That’s just unprofessional and lazy.

These look like they are stamped, EDM would take too long, less than a second on a punch press

That was my first thought too: the edges look like the stock shock towers that come on the Kraton 6s V5.

Edm marks. Good luck stamping titanium lol

They look so much better now. I still need to get some chamfer bits.

Bought a set a while back for the stretched TLRT from the same vendor. I had to go through the same process.. I ended up sticking them back in their bag and shelving them for spares but after the polishing and chamfering they looked 100 times better.

I was hoping these would last more than 1 bash session..........................

Just got a set of these https://www.ebay.com/itm/234057054232 in today and the finish on them is rather unimpressive.

They cutting that with nitrogen, on a Laser, or even a water jet, it's a lot of heat and the cut always looks ugly lol

I think that is the least of my worries

 

[🇺🇸 DΞזΞפּ 🇺🇸]

yeah, and they won't budge lol
look nice now tho
Sorry to say, I'm anal about it, they could have done a better job
the holes look like they could have pulsed it not straight cut, and it wouldn't look like a hacksaw cut

I can now see why they didn't put any time or effort into making these things look nice.

You braid your own wires?
because, is there a way to get it braided after I solder the QS8 on? different kind of material maybe?

Yeah I braid my own wires. No there is no way to get the braid on after you solder on your connectors. The closest thing you will find is cable wrap https://hosatech.com/products/accessories/organizers/wti-385/

Yuck, no way I will do that

 

[slick2500]

Yeah so these are complete crap. 2 bash sessions, the stock shock towers lasted longer than that.

I think they meant "Very hard to not bend," It being titanium means nothing, if it's too thin and/or it's a weaker grade of titanium, it will be weak. This situation sucks, I hope you get some sort of refund from them.

If not I'm going to dispute it with eBay since I didn't use PayPal.........

You got to be effing kidding me....this is my email to the exact same place, I send it out last night.
here is my screenie and the response from him
Not going back there again.

I was cutting some 16 gauge titanium with a 6Kw Fanuc/GE laser it was a really rough surface it was cutting good too, no problem, so my guess is that it was a high purity of material, it was light as a feather, and i tried to bend it, hit it with the hammer, nothing happen it would just bounce off, I put it in a vice and it just broke straight off, no bending.
I wonder what grade your Titanium is?
