I've been meaning to try and get some more pics but not got round to it. I might get to meet Robin Schumacher at the weekend if he's at the Revaval on Sunday and I get to speak to him I'll ask and see if he knows.

Crashback bands must have been hard to fit/change with overhang on top deck.

Does anyone else see what I'm seeing .... Looks like he widened the front track by doubling up the shock stand offs 1 with the shock mounts cut off and 1 with the crash back mounts cut off

Looks like it, I'd guess the change he was after was standing up the shocks by the thickness of that piece, pretty clever.

This was a pretty common mod prior to the factory wide track solution that came on the XLS.
I did it on my XL after seeing it in one of the RC car magazines.
Still have my original modified parts waiting to go back on a vintage build.
Front shock angle is the same as standard but track is widened improving stability.

About these o-rings, I think there is some misunderstanding. I wasn't looking for those larger ones, that keep the front together, but the ones that are on the hinge pins for the front lower suspension arms. Each suspension arm is locked between 2 small o-rings, to reduce slop on the suspension arm. Those are the small o rings I am looking for. Most I can find are reddish brown, and very sticky rubber, adding friction so the hinge.

I've only ever used the hard plastic rings not rubber, but I would use small nitrate ones if using rubber so there not as sticky just mesure that and grab some off eBay.

Anyone got a link to compatible hard plastic rings, or compatible "rubber" ones?
