So I'm in the process of building my kit. I have read that 2 hours is the usual build time. It will probably take me at least twice that amount of time as I like to polish the hinge pins, pivot balls and ball studs to make sure everything moves freely. I also like to clean the bearings before installing them.

So far, I'm finding the build process relatively easy compared to a TC. I really like the cool shock design.

I have to admit that Part Bag numbering and identifying the correct screw size a bit challenging. The bags are labeled A-AA and B-BB but those letters don't seem to match up with the labels on the bags. I have one bag of screws with a label with numbers and letters that doesn't appear in the manual at all???

The other thing is the screws. They have what feels like a powder coated finish. I have built quite a few kits but I don't recall seeing screws like this before.

Overall, I'm enjoying building this kit and look forward to it's completion.
