Got a truck chassis under one of my RB5s still no way near that.

Cut rear spring is my guess.

In this last photo with the FS it shows what looks like different front arms.
They look like they are flat right across the front of the arm. Standard arms sweep back a little.

Yeah, could be, I have seen some interesting photo's of his Lazer lately, and rumors of a new car have been spilling out here and there..

Hopefully whichever changes will be coming out, we'll be able to upgrade to new platform design using most of the existing kit parts that already exist/being used for both 2WD and 4WD.

Looks like the big bore tower and the shock is mounted on the inside hole of the arm.

Are you guys drilling holes in your shock caps? Are you doing the same on your other K cars?

Where is a good place to get rims for the SP2? On A-main hobbies it's saying the RB5 rims they have are not for the SP2 version.
