They're new .71" shock bodies.

I did read through the whole thread here but maybe I missed it...has there been an approximate ship date on these yet?

Haha....Point taken. I have bought up the demand to the powers that be and we'll see if we can get a run of white arms done....but don't hold your breath!

So far I have gotten the car to work pretty well on med-high bite indoor clay. I have made some modifications to the inner camber link locations. The front is out on the tower and the rear is 2mm lower than the stock inner position. I am also running the long wheelbase.

I think the next things I would like to try are adding ballast weight to the nose, making wide trailing axles and lastly more rear toe. However, I think the biggest hurdle to over come is how the car jumps, and making it a little more forgiving. Although, a lot of that can be attributed to the short arms. I will try adding .030" of drop all the way around.

I'll continue to try and work on setups for the WC, but I also have testing I want to do with the B5's...

Me like the gear cover, no more drilling for B4 gear cover..

Could do the white arms on the Graphite Team Car re're.

Well the issue I see is we could always dye them black if we needed more black parts... White just makes more sense I would think. Gives the customer the option of any color possibility. Plus the classic is white parts. Would look stupid with a set of black front arms.

hey, all you can do is ask.

i just see them as the missing link to be able to use the classic kit/parts to create a modern version of a 6 gear or stealth c.e., or build up a team car using the black ano parts.
