Sweet!!

Doesn't look like it will sacrifice steering.

I would be interested to hear from Rich whether that is a new design or simply a correctly machined original design. I have been looking at a few of the CVD's in the LCC lately, and it seems like the machining has been inconsistent at best. I am wondering if there were a bunch of incorrectly machined parts that were shipped out and now we are seeing a little better QC going on. Either way I hope the new parts work better. I broke a CVD in our comp last night on a minor tumble, but it cost me a chance at the win. I was in the middle of a perfect run, but that came to a screeching halt and had to try to finish with 3wd.

new design or correction, anything is better. I agree the old style was cut much too deep.
Using the word "correction" implies that there was a mistake. The world may never know.

Maybe Rich should mail everyone a pair. I'll mail my OE ones back to him for some of those, even though I havent had a problem with mine.

Still waiting on parts to get mine up and running but I shot Rich a PM about acquiring a set of the new CVDs and he's sending some out tomorrow, now that's customer service! Thanks Rich, glad I went with the Losi.
