Title: Are these Pro Class or Araya?
Post by: Daletsunami on June 14, 2012, 04:05 PM: Not sure whether I beleive that these are an early set or a drilled out set of araya's?

Would mongoose be able to sell a set of drilled araya's as their own pro class?

Post by: ozone on June 14, 2012, 07:27 PM: If they were Arayas, drilled recently, they would have to be rechromed to hide the aluminium that the drilling exposed. Sounds like a lot of hassle IMO. :-\

:LolLolLolLol: at the sellers name.
