The eyelets in the turnbuckles are aluminum? What alloy?
They appear as zinc-plated steel eyelets with an aluminum body, but you would of course know better!
Posting test videos would be a great way to address concerns of their robustness given the long the somewhat sordid history of treads in FRC drives. I look forward to seeing them!
