Other than that it was an uneventful build. I'll put the electronics in another day.
With a 12R5 you can un-bolt the shock, no need to "pop" it off
Much better than the Red Car in this aspect.
The battery post are even closer with 4mm bullets.
4600's are not quite as tall as the larger capacity lipo packs.
Battery changes are not going to be as easy with the upgrade.
