Status: offline 		My way too long Kyosho plastic sport shocks are eventually getting replaced with these. Should improve the handling quite a bit. I just need to go to a thinner oil and fab up some custom standard to metric shock bushings.

Status: offline 		I got my custom-made "DODGE" stickers in the mail and did the painting yesterday. I used testors "deja blue" for both the body and the rims. Can't wait to get my LunchBox back together and post a pic. BTW, has anyone else had trouble with the CRP upper arms going out of adjustment during rough bashing?.

Status: offline 		What kind of supper arm setup is it? Is it a turnbuckles? Those things are usually hard to get out of wack, no?!

Status: offline 		It's the standard nylon FX10 upper that's adapted to work on the LB, but the inner eccentric mount bushing won't stay put. I may just measure the setting length and make a fixed and centered bushing after I get the camber right.

Status: offline 		My FX10 kit came with an ecentric bushing and a fixed bushing. I had to go to the fixed too because the ecentric bushing always unadjusted.

Status: offline 		Here is what I built today, it solves both the loosening problem, and the two arms not being parallel or equal length. This is as perfect a geometry as can be made IMO.

Status: offline 		What 2 arms are you talking about? Upper and lower? They don't have to be equal length, right? (if you want the camber to change as suspension travel, you'd want unequal length..)

Status: offline 		I meant the upper (now a turnbuckle), and the lower "A" arm. Actually, having the attatchment points for the two arms as well as the inner and outer pivot heigths matched, keeps things consistant.
