I'm sure I'm missing a few things but here's what I have:

For that much, it's a good thing she looks so pretty.

I definitely won't be adding up any of my cars in the near future.

Can't race at the moment so all the frustration is going into building, tweaking my gear. Sure a lot of us are in that mode these past few weeks.

Yep and that's fine. The only issue I'm having with the shorter axles is I have to run low profile wheel nuts and I already had some issues taking one off and nearly stripping it (externally).

you forgot different pinions , lipo battery and the most important thing tires.

Sorry if this has been covered already. I am just finishing the build and it seems like the battery jiggles around a bit after setting it up. I saw the neat strap alternative. Is it supposed to move around a little?

trf211

If the battery can move vertically then tighten the battery posts down more. If it's side to side you're concerned about that is normal. You can put a thin piece of foam against the side guard if you wanted.

Okay, thank you that did help. I guess I was a bit confused by the spaces shown in the manual. I tightened the posts down a little more and it is moving less now. Thanks! Also, I didn't have any foam thin enough but I did cut a tiny bit of the soft side of the Velcro and stick it against the inside of the side guard and the battery sits snugly now. although it did slightly misalign the balance hole in the battery with the channel cut in to the battery strap. I don't plan to charge inside the car so is no problem for me.

With the car sitting on the stand, the arms sitting in the most relaxed position, with tires and wheels on, under light throttle, if the wheels are straight everything feels smooth, but when I turn fully left or right it gets really chunky feeling with major vibration as if the cvd's are locking up. I may have too much steering but it is just at comfortable lock not stressed. Any ideas?

Check how much dog bone is sitting in the outdrive at full extension. You might need to add some limiters inside the shocks.

Not my brand but:
@FanBoi:

check out the wikipedia article about universal joints espcially about:Equation of motion.

Basically you need 2 opposing joints with the same angle to compensate for acceleration effects in the driveshafts.Hence the usage of double Joints.
