Since Moebius is a spinner, known as an unmbrella spinner in the builder community, we wanted to make sure that he had a tough shell because it is not only his form of offense but defense as well.

Titanium was the only choice for us because steel is tough but very heavy and Aluminum is lightweight but not strong enough to take a good hit. Titanium combines the strength of steel with the light weight of Aluminum. We chose 1/8" CP-2 Titanium because 6Al-4V would have cost us $9,000 more. Just the materials for Moebius' shell cost $995.00. Add welding, painting, logos, etc and the cost goes over $1,500 for the shell alone.
