Viper can be posed quite well without breaking. But a child would break it at¬
first grab.
I have the same problems with some of my technic ball joints. They just don't ¬
grip as good as the others. Sometimes it helps to try another axle. I try to¬
use technic ball joints only as double. Those are really stable, but sometimes¬
much too big. And worst of all you loose too many degrees of freedom.
