Yes I spotted his additional piece at the recent race raising the outer link!
I will start with what I have, less droop and upper hole, but will almost certainly switch during the first race weekend to see the difference! Thanks!
Am I right in thinking you need to slightly unscrew the shock bottoms to get desired rear shock length?

That is WAY more rear droop than I can get out of a. Standard shock length...must be unscrewing the shock bottoms surely!?

I'm not sure what you mean about unscrewing the shock bottoms. Mine has plenty of length.

My shock length hole to hole (center) at the rear is about 121mm max... Which does not give much arm droop. I am not sure how people are getting 129mm shock length! I have another set to build tonight or tomorrow so will see if I get the same results...not sure what I could have done wrong though!
By unscrewing I mean having shock shaft thread still showing, and not fully screwing on the plastic ballcup to the bottom of he shock shaft to increase length!

Their measurement of 129 is from end to end. Hole to hole is about 10mm less.

Also, on that setup, you'll notice the upper rear shock mount is in a lower location which should give it more droop.

It uses a different Chassis plate. Whether or not the kit plate will interchange or not, I don't know. I flipped through some pictures, and it looks like the rtr doesn't use the flat chassis plate like the kit. It's possible that they interchange, but it may need the kit rear diff housing.

Ok, had my first run this last weekend, both nitro and Ebuggy:
1. Both handled a little loose out of the box,but switching to the lower hole in the rear hub and then adding arm droop improved this a lot. I concentrated on learning the cars behavior rather than tuning.
2. Was pleasantly surprised at how similar the nitro and Ebuggy handle to each other. I expected the nitro to be looser but they take a very similar style.
3. I had an Ackerman link screw fall out..li think longer screws would be safer here. The odd other screw went Walkies too but I expect that to be honest!
4. Cars are tough, took quite some battering. Only damage was a bent driveshaft, I think because I lost a kingpin screw so it had been forced into some weird angles!
Only other thing is I got full tank lean bog in my final...is there an optimal gas line route on the car to minimize this? Does a longer line help?
Overall very impressed so far!

How is the driveline and brakes on this car?

really good. the brake setup is very unique and works great. Driveline is very good too. The whole car is very durable. I have been running mine for a long time now and the only thing I have broken is a carbon shock tower, but that is to be expected. I have since upgraded to the aluminum ones.
