Ah...I hadn't seen them yet. Odd then that Parma's rear rims don't match their fronts.

I was looking on stormer, and their price was 260 i believe. I wonder how much the t-bar conversion will be.

It would have been nice if they came up with a way to adjust ride height w/o having to change parts.

This is a brushed motor?

I love the antennae mount. Slide the mast in and tighten the screw. No more having to jam it in and have it come loose later. Can't wait to get my grubby mitts on one.

looks like a tight fit those wires look like it would keep the pod from working properly

Yeah that's what I was thinking...at least the way it is wired there it looks like the wires are going to bind on the end of the damper.

Yeah but it looks like you still got to remove the top-plate and left bulkhead to change it.

I believe the wiring job was done for cosmetic purposes only. It certainly would not be functional. That thing would be doing some serious power slides to the left as the pod binds up
