Kind of a SORE subject!! 😜😂 But GAWD I HOPE I can get a Wild One at NORMAL RETAIL prices! I also HOPE I can get a King Cab, King Blackfoot, and ORV Brat - among others. I wish there was a U.S. Guy like Tony.... I've ordered from Tony's in England before, with great results. But they've all been small items, so Shipping wasn't ridiculous. Prices lately are nothing short of EXTORTION!!! I mean - $250 for a HORNET!!??!! 😖😠😠 Not any special version either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(being i chose red and please ignore the XSPEDE magnetic holder for they only have blue and purple). so finding AVID's shock kit in black and being the shock kit in the AE B6.2D build kit was also blue (they're becoming The Fox Kashmia's ) so on to musical dampers. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carmine A 2046 Posted December 16, 2020 I completely understand the idea of color coordination.... But Team Associated just makes some of the best Shocks - Period! The shocks for Associated's Element Sendero Kit, their first Crawler Truck, are anodized Blue Aluminum... If you wanted to build something in that Direction. 😉 I believe that Losi has Red Aluminum Shocks, which are nearly as good in Performance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
