VBC Lightning FX

Tech Regular
Having heard from one of the other drivers in our club that the side links were a bit brittle I opted to put Associated ones on right from the start. I have had no problems and I kept my VBC ones as spares.

Just to bring up the discussion about about using a thrust bearing in the diff a few pages back, I found a place that sells 5x11x4.5 thrust bearings for under 30 cents each and bought 10 of them. Installation is easy, you just replace it with the bearing inside the drive cup. The only thing I did was flip those cone washers backwards so instead of () from the manual, I installed them the other way round like this )( as recommended.
They work flawlessly with the diff and so far, and the diff action is really smooth. I will have to go run on the track a few times to see how much longer they last compared to a regular bearing, but Im having high hopes for them

Ok, starting the build. First thing it says to sand the edges of the chassis and apply ca glue. Do I need to do this?

The edges wouldn't delaminate easily if you seal the edge but front and back of the car is protected by the wing. Unless you crash spectacularly, which delamination is the least of your worries, you don't have to seal.
I would just sand the edges

Sorry for all the questions but I'm new to on road.
What spur gears will fit, I want to get an assortment of them.
