I reamed the suspension arms, got them to feel real nice and drop with their own weight easily but without any slop. After tightening down the attach points to the chassis, they stay where you put them... Not hard to move them, but they won't drop under their own weight. Is this something that will wear in, or do I need to remove some material off the sides to free them up some? This is an R1, not an S1... thanks.
I found the drive shaft blades to not slide freely in the diff outdrives. A very little bit of polishing freed them up. Details, details, details...

Make sure the plastic inserts are fully seated in the aluminum blocks. Also check that you have the spacers deburred and in the correct positions. You want them pretty free. They will loosen up some, but now is the time to practice building and getting it right.

Does anyone make steel/brass battery positioners? I will most likely need a little weight over there. I am busy as hell at work and don't want to make my own. Thought I'd get lucky?

when i had my car i actually did try out super low cg towers and shocks. car was very flat through the corners just needed better springs but i feel it would be alot better than stock. i ended up cutting the lower holes off of the shock towers and mounting them using the upper holes of the tower and fastening them to the lower holes on the tower mounts then i ran tamiya mini cooper shocks. just for a test of course. but now that the serpent is out i would get a set of the eryx shocks and try it as they can use standard length springs and are super short.

Does anyone run 21.5t blinky with this car?
The track I am on generally have a 3.5 FDR. Is that FDR possible with this chassis? What Spur/Pinion combos would I get?
