No idea... I saw their products 2 days ago. I emailed them but got no reply.

I want those wheel arms!!! But I am unsure of its quality.

Same here, I e-mailed the seller about the knuckles a few days back and seems like he's not responding at all.

Okay, RC Dragon replied my emails today. Seems they do not work on weekend. :)

The front wheel hub (alone) is now available on ebay.

I posted in another thread about them some time ago. I have seen Dragon parts for 1/8 buggy's. They are very well finished, they fit great and work well for their intended purpose. I was suspicious of them because their parts were a lot less expensive than Fioroni, King Headz and Racers Edge.
After having seen their parts used on the race track, I am going to order some parts off ebay for my MP777, another one I am going to build.
As for their 1/16 parts, I would say they look the same except if you read the words with the picture. I am going to use their parts as they are made from 7075 T6 aluminum. One of the things that disappoints me about other manufacturers is nobody in tiny rc field uses this material much. It is lighter, stronger and nearly unbreakable. Titanium is nice but I would rather go with 7075 in almost any structural piece. The cost is a factor, as it is nearly as expensive as Titanium to buy and machine.
I use 7075 in many parts of my 1/8. Everywhere I can except gears and suspension pins and screws. :cool:

Usually 6061 T6 is the standard alloy if not specified. Or something close to that. Not everybody uses that standard. Trust me, if they are using 7075 T6 or Titanium 6,4 they would say. There are some parts they list as other than aluminum and they say what they are.
:cool:

It is a funny thing about makes of more exotic parts/materials, they tend to have their own preference for finish. Any color as long as it is black. Racers Edge has they color, King Headz has theirs, fioroni has most parts in two colors black and blue. The ones that put out the fashion parts don't seem to be interested in the roughest nor toughest, go figure. :cool:
