I am not sure...but in this photo it does look a tad bit bowed...

I got a few items to order, and the LHS asked me to come up with a list of items for them to stock... :) this maybe one of those Items...

Yeah... I need to switch to 60 or 65mm upper links instead of the stock 55mm though. I love the flex of the 4 link...

Thanks man... I tried to get an '80s sand bug feel with the paint!

I actually do have one for the body... its a bit tricky...but works... you need 4 button head M3x8mm screws, you cut the posts to where they just rub the inside of the body...and then you drill a hole in the body 3mm as well as down the inside of the body post... use the M3x8mm screws to hold the body in place.... looks nice and clean... plus no snags of any sort...

Just get use to running one body, unless you feel like swapping out the posts everytime you get a different body!
