[Butch Londrigan]

Has any one tried titanium boom tubes? I see titanium joe has 5/16 tube little pricey thought.

They may be stronger but what breaks then??? The idea is to drive around the bouys! LOL

Yes i have tried TI tubes and it`s nothing i can reccommend.

Over time they get bent as AL tubes so your setup is not the same from the beginning of the sesson to the end and that`s not good.

The price is just to much also.

CF or GF is the best.

Over all the years i have been racing nothing beats Carbon Fibre.

Thanks. Question answered.

interesting, so you're saying the titanium tubing will warp, or bend, due to fatigue and torque from actual operation?

 

[brad nichols]

Probbably not warp but as all tubes you can bend or break.

You will see if you remove your tubes and put them on a flat table you will see more or less wobble.

Can be the thing that change your setup but you wonder it Changes but you don`t notice it so easy.

Use Easton arrow shafts! You can get the hybrids with Alaminium core and carbon wrap! In many sizes try Lancaster Archery

 

[Paulmousseau]

The Easton ACC arrows can bend and stay bent. The idea was to build a straighter carbon arrow and to increase the weight per grain of arrow for better penetration,more kinetic energy

 

[Bradley Ward]

You guys would know!! But what if you insert a carbon arrow in an aluminium one? Then use them both? Me i just just go up in tip grains or get out the mechanicals for kinetic energy!those ACC are out of my budget! Or I just get out the .220 swift or the .338 Lapua!

 

[Paulmousseau]

Yep .338 will work...lol

Double wall the aluminum to just past the bolt holes , they wont break anymore but the boat must be able to take the extra load from the crash or dunk .

I don't think carbon arrows would be good for much more than a .07 nitro rigger or mini sprint fast electric. Carbon arrows are roughly 0.30" diameter and fairly thin wall.

The upside of carbon for arrows or outrigger booms is generally they are either true, or they break. Metal tubes as mentioned will bend and potentially to a small enough degree you won't notice it to the eye, but enough to throw your hulls tuning off.
