My brother runs them on his wagon an like wise, he has found them to be quite strong an well worth the upgrade. Not criticising Hobzees control arms, but Petes look alot stronger

i havent seen hobzees but from memory they weigh about 2.5kg
superior ones weigh about 7kg
and the ones i had made 4 mine are 7.2

might be over kill but after seeing a few break im happy to know mine wont
