Looking very good though :-)
Think it is yep, maybe the camera makes it look a different shade.

I think they made a running change so the early ones are natural (and easily dye able) but the later ones are pure white...
I see, right then the hunt goes on and I'm sure I'll have some competition from S1mma :)

I have to have pure white to go with my planned finishing colours.

Have run in to a problem with the rear arms. With the carrier in the outside hole the shafts are too short. With the carriers on the inside hole the arms scrape on the inside of the wheels. I'll have to find some longer shafts (xxx?) or cut the ends of the arms off, or find some kind of spacer/adapter for the wheels.

What do you guys think?

Hehe, let's make losi not war!

I'm easy to have a set of the cream natural, don't mind having a go at dyeing, never tried it to be honest.

Oh - I'm sure I have some slightly longer cvds, I'm not home today but can check for you later in the week if it helps????

Perhaps yes, although it must be said mine were NIP very recently by all accounts so I that would probably be the last resort, but yes maybe, thanks.

The XXX shafts are the same length as the XX ones, to make the VLA arms fit you will need to remove the outside hole on the wishbone, or fit a XXX inner pivot as they are narrower.

I see, so what was the advatange of the narrower pivot / longer arms on the xxx? I think I'll just end up cutting the bits off I suppose.

They do look good and were really cheap too, grab some if you can. Perhaps the seller could post some to the states for you if you have no luck in your local hobby shop.
