Great products and support from RSD. I highly recommend their shock bladders too!

I got the tuned spring set. Heard nothing but rave reviews about them.

RSD springs are great. Very good and consitant. I bought the first set they had out (they have since released many more). I run HPI springs more frequently (along with Blue & Green AE), but they can be hard to find (HPI6543-SILVER 16.9lb, HPI6548-PINK 17.9lb, HPI6542-BLUE 15.3lb).

Well, my build is done. Just need electronics now. Had only a couple hiccups, I'm really impressed. Most of the hiccups were my own stupidity (or following wrong instructions). Nothing that required replacement parts thank goodness. Only kit problems I had were that somehow two screws were missing (thankfully I found suitable replacements) and I learned that the inner camber link ballstuds for the FT do NOT work with the WC vertical ballstud bearing caps. They work in the outermost hole, but any other hole is going to interfere with the bearing carriers, and even in the outermost hole they are a little too long for my taste; I have some AE 3.5mm TiN ballstuds on the way.
Good info.
You mean to say the threads on the original ballstuds are too long, and the remedy would simply be to get ballstuds with shorter threads?

Yes. On the normal FT kit they go through the shock towers in to a locknut. They are 8mm long. The WC bearing caps are about 3.5mm thick, so even a 5mm ballstud is going to be slightly too long, that's why I got 3.25mm ballstuds coming (made a mistake in my original post, AE doesn't show 3.5mm ballstuds, so 3.25mm is a better choice):

You can see in the last picture the issue, the 8mm ballstuds are far too long.

Okay. I could have sworn I saw something in this thread about something for the battery to sit on. I just bought the RSD battery hold down thing for my 6.1 WC. I installed it tonight. I'd like to just but a small strip or two of something down to keep it from sliding around so much. Maybe some sort of adhesive backed felt?

Has anyone else had a problem with this ? I have yet to build by TC6.1, but my new WC chassis, shock towers and vertical ballstud bearing caps have arrived.

Description
This battery hold down system was designed to equalize the flex on your TC6 Chassis.
By using this innovative battery tab system, the battery is held down securely in place while at the same time not interfering with the chassis flex on the right side of the car. With any other battery holding system such as tape, velcro straps or full length battery braces, the battery becomes an integral part of the chassis' rigid structure. This creates a stiffer chassis on the battery side, making the chassis flex asymmetrically.
The Battery tab system allows the battery to "float" on top of the chassis, allowing the chassis to flex freely side to side. As a super cool added bonus, no longer will you need tape or cumbersome velcro to secure your batteries in place.

Yokomo Springs?
Sorry to ask a daft question!
I have purchased a set of Yokomo springs to try out but how do you guys get them to sit correctly on the shocks?
The Yokomos have a larger diameter than most other brands?
On mine they just slide around and catch the suspension arms and as they move about they change the ride height!!
