ringding350 9 Posted February 26, 2019 I used a DT-03 CVA kit on my Madcap. IIRC it had both 'long' and 'short' end fittings. I used the long ones to get clearance on the lower wishbone. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ringding350 9 Posted February 28, 2019 Tamiya do a spare parts kit for the CVA shocks, Antics have it cheaper than on ebay here. Only in black but if it gets it running maybe that's good enough? You never know they might even have it in their Bristol store and it'd save the postage! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ringding350 9 Posted February 28, 2019 Actually this is a cheaper way of dong it, and there's one in stock in Bristol. Might be worth double checking the fitment though. I don't work for them BTW, it's just I'm off work sick and bored! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you sure you’re not missing the spacers for the damper mounts, I’ve found a picture online of the side of the original Madcap box showing the hop-ups for the car & the dampers are the exact ones you have... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ringding350 9 Posted March 1, 2019 Oh, I hadn't realised. Those yellow shocks are a different construction to the CVA's I've got. I don't think the parts I shared will fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikiej 2 Posted March 4, 2019 The font tyres for this car are a nightmare to get hold off. If they are available they are expensive. Way too expensive for regular use. Instead grab the astute front wheels and rear wheels and slap on shumacher tyres. The ride is higher and helps with the steering. Tyres are 6 bucks or so. If i find out the size of the tyre ill update here. But yes i gave up ages ago with those discs. @evssv69 - are those shock missing the clips/spacers to compact the springs? and that's why its sagging? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evssv69 378 Posted March 4, 2019 Ahh..dun know...u mean pre load spacers🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evssv69 378 Posted March 4, 2019 Yes there missing ...but they still need thd longer ends though to sit right Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
