Thanks! I just need a new or mint set of 6371 universals or MIP cvds to make it a roller.

I see the 6371's on eBay but they are pricey.

Yeah I saw those as well. I ordered some mip cvd's from custom works that are like the b3 cvd's that I think I'm going to add a sleeve to make them work with 1/4 inch wheels.

Ok this one is a roller now! Need to decide on a paint scheme and find some electronics. The transmission in it is temporary until I get the new one built with aluminum outdrives and a hydra drive setup.

Very nice build!

One question: What shocks are those? I'm putting together a black tub with black plastics and I don't really want the gold shocks. :lol: Those black shocks would be perfect.

Joe is right, but you can also strip the gold ones and have them anodized black.

I don't want to deal with re-anodizing the stock shock bodies. I may strip them and leave them bare though. I definitely don't need to hunt down any rare shock bodies for a runner. Thanks for the info though!
