Your not going to believe this Adam but I've been using Hyper7 pins since the first Xray one snaped on me. They do have the e clip grooves in but they are the perfect length and I've not snaped one since. |

Yeah, unbreakable sounds good to me Booyah, but then they wouldn't make any money off of us from parts.  
My front right lower inner pin, and my rear left outer pin have both broken on my car. The front snapped about 12mm from the front end of the pin, and the rear pin was a similar break at the end of the pin. The rear pin breaking was no surprise cause is was a terrible sideways landing that would have broken any car. But the front just broke, no hard crash or bad landing that i saw it break on. Sorry, no pic.

My rear arms developed slop quickly. They were nice and tight for a short time when they were new, but now they wobble badly. Happened to my friends car too. they are shimed so there is no play on the pin, but the holes on the arm are wearing quickly. Anyone else had this happen?? Front arms still tight, no slop, just rear arms. |

Yeah, i guess that's it. I run on an outdoor track, and it gets fairly dusty. It makes sense now, fine dust particles must get in the pivot holes and cause a sandpaper effect. But now that i think about it, it never happened on any of my other cars. They had slop in them after a much longer period of time.
