i also have a set of d8t tessmann edition cvds, i was gonna see if they were long enough to swap back to the tamiya front knuckles and hubs with the xray arms, if i could find aluminum kyosho front hubs for cheap, id use them... the readyset hubs and xray arms are really flexy at the hub end, and the tamiya hubs have options for link locations the kyosho stuff doesnt...

hope that helps
I appreciate it man, I'll look into it. I really love this thing but I've been taking it easy from racing due to the high price in front a arms, I have like 12 pairs( I mean pairs, set of two) of rear a arms lol.
