Be care ful when building the shocks, do not trim the black retainer, even though it does not appear to fit. Use the shock tool to push it into the shock body and it will go eventually. If you trim them, your shocks will leak. Happened to me, since I replaced the black retainers the shocks have been perfect.

Flipping the belts means to change the order of the belts so that the belt going to the rear is on the spur side, and the front belt is on the battery side. It lets you sit your electronics closer to the centre line but can be problematic unless you get a good lipo retainer.
