Just wondering,

How strong are the new ball joints in the Geonosian Fighter and AT-TE?

I'm (slowly) building a mecha and debating with myself whether to buy some
for leg joints.   The mecha will be a quadped (sp?).  I've heard the joints
are fairly weak and using worm gears and other Technic pieces work better.

Thanks for the help,

I just ordered some from bricklink. I had the same idea but unfortunately I
don't think they work well as joints. They could have made the ball joints
better if they made it a full ball instead of half. Hope this helps.
