building tips:
1. Install front sway bar before the bulk head.
2. Pillow ball(for front sway bar) height:manual says 27mm but make it one more turn counterclockwise. Or the pivot balls will be tight.
3. Make sure to put 10mm screws(for shock mount) on FLw arms before putting them on chassis. It will make your life easier.
4. Connect throttle servo turnbuckle to pivot arms on top deck before putting the pivot arms in place.
5. Connect the steering servo turnbuckle to servo savor before putting the top deck on.
6. The shock rotation problem will continue. You need to grab the shock body when you turn the ride height knob. Or you will loosen up the cap. Try to use non serrated plier to save the threads on the body. Grabbing the top cap was not enough for me and felt insecure.
7. As mentioned above, you need 1 low profile servo for throttle. Steering servo can be whatever.
8. Do not mount the servo-receiver compartment on the upper deck yet until you install the futaba connector for the battery in the receiver.
9. If you are going to use transponder, make another wire for it. Then you can mount the compartment on the deck.
10. You can't use any other servo arms than the stock ones yet for this car unless there is pretty short one. The stock throttle servo arm is curvy and short. The stock steering servo arm is short. The steering one is very tight fit to the tank. If it's 1mm longer, then it will hit the tank unless you raise the tank or you're willing to do some modification.
Have fun. I hope you lessen your time on building with these tips.
