Just get A-part tree spares. I have two V2 chassis sitting in my parts bin.

I have seen people use longer plastic joint arms (can't think of what the proper name is) to get a bit extra length from the 54000's.

Actually I have more than enough droop on my 54000's on my V2. There is plenty of stroke. I am not sure why it might not work on other chassis. I believe these came out when the M03's were still kind of new. Instructions even tell to use those black o-rings inside to limit the extended travel for M03's. Since our V2's have droop screws, I did not install the spacers inside like how i did with the factory clear CVA's. Kind of felt it defeats the purpose of the droop set screws.
