Is anyone getting cva rubbing on the arms? I noticed that I am. I have twisted and tried to mimik how it could possible hit, does not seem like it should be able to. A assume impacts are more violent than my hands muster.

Yes, it happens when it really flexes. I just dremel the arm down a little or use an x-acto when I see where it happens. And I haven't snapped any arms from doing this like someone will most likely say.

Are those lunsford turnbuckles in the front and stock in the rear?
i have a new kit on the way and im not sure if im going to put on my lunsfords turnbuckles from my current car because i think they rub the rear shock a little more than stock. But, i want to get rid of some blue.

I think mine are pretty clean and now my Transponder wire runs along with the Servo wire and it's super tidy.
Unfortunately I was running a few practice runs as I was doing final setup and some idiot nailed my car in mid flight and it went tumbling and apparently I forgot to place the foam in the rear and the battery slid back and shorted out on the CF shelf (which I had been meaning to remove) and my car was smoking… Literally! jumped off the stand and it was on fire, which I quickly put out by packing the car with clay. All is perfectly fine with the exception of the battery being a bit melted on the corners by the leads and the FC tray disintegrating to fine carbon threads which discolored my beautiful Neon Green Wire!!! Went to go buy some more and there is no more.
If anyone here went and bought up all that Neon Green Stuff, PLEASE sell me a couple of feet!!! Otherwise will just go with Blue instead.

I was running the JC Fin Turnbuckles with a 1.5mm washer, and so far there is no damage to the shock. I am in the middle of chaning over to the new JC Ballcups, I will post some picks when I finish, so you can see how they work.

my jc rib and wedge cups just came in the mail today. I think i am going to build my lunsford turnbuckles with the jc cups. I currently us a washer behind the shoc
You do a couple things, use the new JC Fin and Rib Ballcups, Lunsford has an offset adjustment turnbuckle so the hex adjustment isnt behined the shock, or use a JC Fin or Lunsford full set of turnbuckles and use a 1 to 2mm washer behined the bottom shock ball to move the shock away from the turnbuckle.
