Thanks for the clarification! Thats good news for me because all I have is a 6 gear and I can still build a correct representation of the CE.

Did all the B stamp CEs come with the stealth to your knowledge?

That's normal and ok. The nylon in the rear arm mount is very thin where the hinge pin hole and the dogbone clearance cove meet. Some people trim that to fully expose the pin and make it look neater, some leave it just like that. However for part integrity you should rehydrate your nylon parts if i...
