Read the last page of the black\white instruction manual. You need to send the form in so CRC can send you the instruction booklet once it's ready.

Hey guys...Im building my kit now and i think i ran into a little problem.I'm putting together the rear axle/diff, and it seems that the spur gear is too thin,or the diff rings are too thick.Has anyone else ran into this problem?Any help would be appreciated.Thanks-Steve

Pretty sure it's a gold spring that comes in the kits. The red is second stiffest of the lot, copper are the stiffest of all.

If the people I painted bodies for had REAL JOBS I could charge them money for paint jobs. But since they are R/C racing bums, the only payment they can offer is used R/C equipment or sexual favors.

I prefer the used R/C equipment.

Well I'm waiting patiently for Gen X to be re-stocked in the stores (pretty much sold out nationwide..and definitely within 2hour radius of where I'm located right now)... maybe it's better that i missed the first batch if there are QC issues... there will be more in about a week and a half hopefully
