      Aaron, do you have these in the shop?

      I’m keen to get some shims for myma-010, those bloody ATOMIC CVD’s have introduced a fair bit of slop now given their dimensions are not a 1:1 of the original kyosho ones….

      ooo are they like the spacers for ground clearance in thinner widths than the 1mm thick ones that come with the ready set?

      i allready switched the ones in the front so they are on the bottom of the knuckle to lower it a bit… but 2 of them dont give it enought travel for the springs to fit properly…

      lol, the ones in the RTR I lost the moment I opened the bloody thing!

      I swear atomic just shits me now. These CVD”s are strong but their OD on the shaft is a beesdick smaller than the ID of the bearings they sit in. this introduces wobble.

      Also, the dogbone part of the CVD can be 1-1.5mm longer. Othewise they also introduce in/out play, which is why I need those damn shims….

      And to top it off, the thread that the bloody wheel nuts are meant to screw onto is thinner than standard. Therefore even a NEW STOCK kyosho plastic wheel nut won”t fit.

      ATOMIC definately pulled out the big guns in stuffing these CVD”s up.

      I just bought another set TOPCAD ones, since no other brand is out yet. 3Racing have some on their site, but not ready yet.

      Just to note, we will be stocking TopCad CVDs shortly, I am told they are perfect, but will believe it when I get a test set into the car…So far though TopCad has not let us down…

      BTW iWaver are doing a bunch of Alloy for the MA010 as well, probably the best option for the colour purists as everything will be available in their 4 colour range.
