Almost done with my build. Just gotta do the shocks and wire everythig up. This was a great build! The way the the side gaurds mount to the chassis as well as the battery tray was a great touch. No more stripping plastic The rod ends are pretty tight like everyone says but it will break in.

The only thing I had to adjust were the rear diff shims. Doing it per the manual made the aluminum inserts almost impossible for me to install into the gear box. I went with one .25 shim on the left and one .10 on the right. Went together good after that and felt smooth.

I also didn't realize the esc mounted straight to the chassis. I will mount it on a thin piece of foam for some cushion. I usually just use shoe goo to mount my speedos.
