Thanks, any more building tips? I just filed the front and rear edges of the upper deck as it seem to be a bit longer. I noticed this when I trial fit it with front, rear bulkhead and steering system assembled. Somehow I have force it into place. Now it fits nicely. Did you guys also filed the upper deck? I hope i made the right move.

Do you think expanding its stock team in the US would help Tamiya's presence in the market? It seems like picking up some stock drivers across the midwest and east coast might help with more grassroots interest. I know there's sort of a negative stigma about sponsoring people that race stock, but it seems to have worked out pretty well for the likes of Corally and XRay.

Just finished up my kit.
The LiPo fit is going to be close, but I've got it figured out in my head, going to order some TQ Racing 13 gauge wire tonight, supposed to be very thin but shouldn't have any problems handling a 3.5-4.5 motor.
My transponders should arrive this week as well, so I'll mount one of those in and get a pic of the wiring when it's all completed.
Pics were taken with my cell phone, so they kinda suck.

Lets see your wiring work Randy! Wish we had a mod class around here.

I've had issues with the low profile servos not centering as well as the standard ones, so now that the receivers and ESC's are getting so small it's no problem to fit a full size servo and still have a ton of room between the ESC and motor.
