Gu cv's

Post by gudge »

hi guys, just wondering how tough gu cv's are, im entering the cq challenge in november and will be running 37" trepadors. ive had a ball bearing upgrade on the turbo and had the fuel adjusted (not sure of power figures). im starting to think the cvs arnt gunna handle it. i havnt got the tires yet so cant get out and give the cvs a good test.

thanks nastytroll, i will just have to control myself ( sometimes i get excited). are they any different than gq's? as i have had mates break them countless times. although they do get a hiding to.

theres a 20 page thread on the topic, they are different to GQ and much stronger at that.
