ETA has not been established yet, but very soon.
If you buy the current version, and it doesn't clear, you can trade in for the ext version, but keep in mind that you will have to adjust your links with the extended version. I'll post more info soon about the RULRX.
Shorter uppers correct?
I read and understand i thought that the uppers you wanted to be long? I do realize in this case of mirrored trans and longer motors, there give and take. But I like to have cake and eat it too.:ror:

Yes shorter uppers. I haven't measured how much shorter though yet, but it looks to be only 5mm maybe (eyeballing it) which shouldn't affect much. Keeping stock length will rotate the rear axle too much though
Here's the EXT prototype to get an idea of where this is going:
(Quick cell pic)
This may still be cutting it close, but I will have one or two people test them out to make sure they clear.
More info soon!

Do these require finish sanding before mounting? The face that the nut on the bolt through the frame is convex and not square or flat. Also, the mounting surface that the upper arm mounts to is super rough and uneven. I don't care how it looks as nobody will see it, but are they usually smooth where the nuts and control arm joints sit? From the other pics on this thread they look like they are supposed to be nice and square and smooth.
Here are some terrible phone pics.

The curve is due to the natural shrinkage of nylon as it cools. The "Rough texture" is due to the support material described here:

Although the ones in that pic are the old ABS, which didn't shrink the same way nylon does.
Neither will affect operation though, and is only a cosmetic thing.

These are not the new nylon? I ordered from supershafty last week, does he not have the newest edition?
SuperShafty carries the nylon version, I can vouch for their strength.

The flat ones in the link in my last post that show the support material are ABS. Those went out of production in Feb/Mar this year.
Nylon has been the only version in production for a few months now, and looking at your pics, you have the newest nylon version. (Post a pic of your packaging if you still have it and that will help me determine which batch yours came from.)
Nylon naturally shrinks as it cools, and this is especially noticeable with 3D printed Nylon (and is why Nylon can be a pain to print, there is a lot more set-up required to prevent print failures) but this does not affect the performance of the part. Also, as you said, the location where it is installed is pretty hidden, so it came down to function being the most important factor.
If you look closely, all the nylon versions have the same curve and same texture on the offset portion, it's just hard to see because of how these are mounted.

Extended mounts are still in the works. They got pushed back due to the Wraith Rails I am working on, but I should have a couple to send to testers by mid next week.
