Yellow CVA's

Maybe it's just me and my luck, but it seems like most of the assembled Tamiya vehicles I get off of ebay that have the yellow CVA's are NEVER built right!
If you follow the directions and be sure to cut the flashing off of every part, they are actually quite good shocks....
Anybody here have the same trouble with this?

I think the CVA yellow shocks are among the best shocks made ever!
They just do not look as cool as the metal shock. If they were prettier, I would them in all of my projects.
IMHO, they are super smooth and work exceptionally well.

I Agree.
The yeloow CVA are not bad shocks if built right.
I piy yeah racing shocks on most of my Tamiya runners but on some models nothing looks better than the CVA. ( FOX, Tunder Shot)
I think they were very good in thier day.

Back in the day they were a very popular hop-up item for the Midnight Pumpkin and Lunch Box. Maybe all Tamiya's of the time as well? They worked well and I never had one leak on me.
I currently have a set that came on a King Cab.
