The kit and bearings have been shipped from Stella and the hi caps and motor mount are now on route from Tamico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quality is good but the chassis plates are glossy as apposed to a more matt finish of the original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GTodd 1349 Posted October 27, 2019 Id get the chassis set, not only is it stiffer but you get turnbuckles and EVO sock towers. Also get the Hicaps while they are easy to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They know the charge amount (£25) but they cant take payment until it's in their depot. Two days to get from Hong Kong and then spends a week in customs!
