Woah! I think I understand what your getting at, but you confused me
with
all the A1 A2 stuff, :-P

I was merely expressing a point that was symmetrically the same in each
leg. I hope I didn't lose everyone else out there...

Cool idea tho bud,

I don't know if this has already been discused or not, as • I'm new here,

know if it will work at all.) Anyway, I believe that if you took a
technic flex hose and shoved it through you mech's leg at point • "A1" (see
super corny diagram below) and bent it down and thrust it through • the
waist at point "B" and then bent it back upward and pulled it • through the
other leg at point "A2" you could strenghthen the hip joints by • quite a
lot.  the whole philosophy that I have is that if you have • something else
that unversely bends and is tougher or as tough as (not as willing • to
bend) the ball joints then you could strengthen them quite a bit. • Once
again I have no idea if this will work or not, I have not tried it.
Though, I would appreciate it if all of you would give me some • feedback
on this idea and maybe even try it too!

Thanx!

And, of course,

May the Brick be with you!
