Put the kit together, started to adjust the turnbuckles and three of them kept popping off the ball cups. I pre-threaded them, used some grease before putting them together, installed them on the ball ends once, did not stick anything through the hole when threading them together... really disappointed.
I am going to have to test the buggy with these ball cups on there, but I anticipate turnbuckles popping off for sure.

Front Hex Mod
Stealing the idea from Jeremy Harris. Thanks man! 
Here are the parts I used.
Team Durango Steering Knuckle Set (2) [TDR330382]
Kyosho Steel Axle Shaft Set (RB5 WC) (2) [KYOUM569]
Team Durango 5x10x4mm Ball Bearing Set (4) [TDR601002]
Kyosho 5x7mm Aluminum Servo Saver Collar Set (Blue) (4)[KYOW0149]
The axial was a little to long for me so I cut them down. Below you can see one that I cut and one uncut. It is a pretty easy mod. Took me about 15 min cutting down the axials.

Loving the step by step pics!!
It looked like you used a 4mm shim on the hex side. I cut the axials down leaving 5mm of adjustment. In the pictures I only have a 2mm shim on the hex side.

I'm planning on running this car over the winter. What are some suggested hop ups if any? Also should I pick up other springs? And what pinion do you suggest with an Orion 8.5 using the stock spur?
I'll be running indoor on a tight track with med to high bite and normal size jumps.
Thanks in advance. I'm really looking forward to running this car.

-Do I need a low profile servo or will say a Futaba 451 work?
-Do I need a shorty pack such as the Trakpower 4400 shorty?
Sorry for all the questions, just want to cover all my bases... Or most of them!

Add to that some CF front and rear towers and the car is about bulletproof.
Stock springs are suited more for MM setup, so if you plan on running RM I would get the next couple firmer for the rear and softer for the front. If I remember right we had dk green rear and Black front.

Gearing u will have to play with some but watch your temps. I run a 10.5 and am using 25/78 gearing. That's fine for me now.
Servo, standard is fine.
Battery, TrakPower shorty is an awesome battery. That's what I run. It gives you room for weight adjustment, by moving it forward or back. Just need to add foam to the tray. I run mine all the way forward.
