Got my new Ex this week, and and just put it all together.
Was hoping to go for its maiden voyage tomorrow but i dont think ill be well enough yet

Couple of things Ive noticed during the build.
The new spur gear layshaft is not a bad idea, but has anyone noticed that they never made the topdeck opening wide enough to allow removal of spur without removing the topdeck?? 18mm opening with a 21mm shaft. If the opening was wider it would make things alot easier.

Built the gear diff in the morning and by the afternoon it had leaked a heap of fluid out and i havnt even ran the car yet. Not sure if i did something wrong with it but ill have to have a better look later for now ive got the trusty yoko gear diff in there

roll centre changes looks like it will be alot more time consuming with all the shims

front arm spacings

I would have prefered steel cv shafts supplied upfront with a spool. but luckily I had a set from the old photon.
