Hi All,
With the delay of the B6d, I decided to get a B5M Factory Lite to get into off road racing (have been racing on road, and will do both) before I get a B6D next year.

I've been doing some research and reading up on this forum, but with 1356 pages its tricky to follow what people have done with the car.

Just wanted some advice on the initial build and things to look out for/change/setup differently.
So far I have looked at gluing the inserts in as per above (will run the car first), build the diff as per videos on page 1 incl sanding the discs and slipper pads then running it in, and just made sure everything was lined up properly. I havent done shocks or turnbuckles as yet, and electrics. Motor/ESC is Reedy 800z+17.5T, Sanwa MT4S radio and Savox 1258TG servo. Shorty pack batteries.
Also looking to upgrade to aluminium steering very soon!
Thanks.
