it clips in, you should be able to push down the other bits in the end of the shock and then get one end of the clip under a little ledge and gradualy push the rest in, once it it stops everything from falling out

I ordered them already. I need them too on my R2. It will be in probably 1 1/2 weeks time from now. The R2 with the PAL hubs is still ok but you need to be smooth to take advantage of the added initial and exit steering.

There are some obvious and not so obvious mistakes. If it was translated to english, it would improve the overall build experience. I've built several cars before the R2 and I still got confused. Maybe all those beers didn't help, but what the hey? :O
