DCM: Been a long time since we spoke, all well over there in the UK?
I got the SB V2 Pro new in the box here, and there is ALOT of improvements here that I think you should take another look at the vehicle. The graphite chassis alone not attached to anything felt significantly stiffer than my fully assembled SB V2 Sport did. Really beefy.
The suspension parts in the new hard material are just that, HARD. No flexing around anymore.
Also, with the included extras for the price over heard (about the same the ZX-5), you get a lot of vehicle for the money.
I hope oople does a review soon of the new vehicle. Academy really stepped it up with the V2 Pro.
As for threaded shocks, yes that would have been nice, but, never won a race because my shocks were threaded
