Some small issues like the shock piston washer had to be persuaded into the shaft. The battery retainer hole had to be slightly modified so I can place the pin in. The kit also disnot have diff oil? Not a beginner build.
Had same issues with shock shaft washers and pin for center diff. I allready had a v2 with v3 upgrades so I was familiar with the build. A far as the battery config,it really isn't that hard to change batteries. I have done it so many times now that its a piece of cake. Actually didnt really care about the diff oil because they probably would of put something in there i wouldnt use any way. This has been my experience with past kits that come with diff oil. The online manual is a little better but I think it is for older version so some stuff is a little different.

Durango makes aluminum servo horns.

I am having issues assembling the front steering knuckles. The holes are not reamed large enough for the screws provided. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm still using the kit horn. I figured I'd replace it if it broke, but it has a full saver there. 1.5 years of fortnight racing and still going strong. Not an issue with a car with a saver built in.

No, its a challenging kit to say the least. Seems like there would be plenty of room for electronics until you break out the double faced tape for the first time, then strange things happen..
It did look OK but as soon as you start placing the electrics, real estate quickly vanishes.

I just got the kit from SCVRC. They ordered for me and it arrived within the seek. Maybe try your local hobby shop?

Pretty sure that user error is not the issue. The rest of the kit went together fine. I will be drilling out the holes a bit tonight.

any of you guys have your electronics mounted directly on the chassis? i'm debating on whether to put mine on the chassis or the little mounting plate. but my wires have to clean and shrink wrapped. i can't have all loose everywhere lol

Honestly I don't know how you can use the mounting plate. There is barely any room in this thing for the esc. Everyone I know just mounts it straight to chassis including myself.

Double up on the servo tape to give it a little extra give for hard landings.

good idea. i just got move my motor wires a little bit and i need a few more pieces to shorten the esc-to-rx wires, and my transponder wires to clean it up. i will be sure to post some pictures after i get the electronics mounted.

I got tekin rs pro + spektrum sr3100, fits perfectly onto the mounting plate. the only benefits I guess is that I can adjust servo sometimes easier, just two screws and electronics all off.
though for my 410 short course, I've removed the mounting plate for larger electronics.
