I just bought another COMPLETE VBS with Extras!

[Chadworkz]

Since these are some of the earlier versions of the VBS, is there anything I need to look out for or do special since they aren't quite as strong in the hingepin area, or possibly any other area for that matter, to strengthen them in some/any way if needed? Is the thickness/width of the Hingepin-Mounts the only difference between these VBS & the Latest-Versions of the VBS I already have on my UE Lightning Chassis, or are there some other differences or changes that I don't know about?

Once I take these apart to switch the skidplates back to their proper ends, I am going to thoroughly check out each diff (rebuild if necessary) as well as every aspect of the entire VBS themselves to make sure they are solid, straight and have no cracks or damage of any kind at all...but are there any specific things/places I should look for/inspect for damage? I know some of you are VBS Experts, so I was just wondering...and I want to thank you all very much in advance for any help/knowledge you can can provide to me now and in the future...I will absolutely and honestly appreciate it!

This Forum, and more specifically its Members, are TRULY and HONESTLY the Greatest and most Knowledgeable I have ever met, probably on the Internet, and most likely in the WORLD! Thank You ALL, from every fiber of my HEART & SOUL!

P.S: This is off subject, but I can't remember who bought & owns the two chassis thatu Serum custom-built now, but is there any chance or any amount of money you (the new owner of them) would take to sell them to me? I also need a set of Mike's RCM Revo Hybrid 1/8 Diff-Cases (v1 or v2, with or without diffs), as well as one of Mike's v1 Slipperentials. If this last P.S: is cause for locking this thread, please let me know first so I can remove it because I need the NEW'vs'OLD VBS Questions Answered...thanks kindly in advance!
