To me the risk of blowing a servo or receiver just isn't worth it.
The Xceed regulator is perfectly reliable, have been running mine for two years, and it is very small and light weight.

Hi everyone
I sold my NT1 and I'm assembling my new LAB.
DS, you are the guilty
I found some little problems in the assembly, but nothing important.
Hope will be a fantastic car on track. I'll keep you informed.

Well... my english is very bad.
I found nothing important, just 2 roll center plastic inserts (rear lower arms) hard to put in the aluminium.
Front lower arms very nice with the ARB, but to get a free movement, I had to sand just a little the lower arm, the round part where you insert the screw with the arb mount. The 2 pins from the lower suport bumper, I had to sand 0,2 mm.
Finally, I had to sand again the shims used to setup the offset. A had 2 shims 0,6 + 0,6 mm for each wheel. Just in the front train, that was too much. I sand them to 0,5 + 0,5. That was good to get the bearins rotate smooth. In the rear was no problem, so I put 0,6 + 0,6

Step 1.0 Shockabsorbers
Shock absorber length, for me it was impossible to get the shocks to the 59/60mm length.
If I want to set them to 59/60 the ball end was almost completely off the shock shaft.
I ended up setting the fronts to 56.5mm center to center length and the rears to 58.0
Step 10.0
The manual states that you have to insert a ball bearing into part number two, but there is no room for this bearing.
I guess this is still from the first kit’s when part number two was still alumunium instead of the plastic it is now.

Yes! same I found with the shock absorber length. Impossible 59/60 mm length.
Also, the manual talks about 7 different roll center positions, and with the black inserts, I found just 5 positions.
And the M3 screw that comes in the clutch bag is too short
Despite this little things, the car looks amazing

TMF made some very nice pictures during the build of his Capricorn Lab.
This is the link:

It also includes some pictures of the various parts being weighed on a scale and compared to some NT1 pieces.

Thanks DS
Another thing... my kit came with 550 oil for schoks and 150k for front differential. Maybe they are updating??
