I know my king ping screws are ridiculously hard to screw in

It happened while screwing it in. It didn't make it but maybe half way in and it split. Right front arm on the front side. Another one of my friends had it happen on the exact same arm while building his last night so it can't be a total fluke

I have a 2nd kit to put together in a day or 2 so i'll see how that one goes

Kinda bummed that i need a new arm and hadn't even ran it yet

I hope you all enjoy the build! Please ask any questions and I hope this info helps!

I have already built mine past this point, but don't remember seeing a screw that you mentioned. I went back and looked in the manual, don't see anything about it.

So in the kit build it says to install the front inner camber link to 2 but in the kit setup sheet it says 1.

I swear Kyosho had the best shocks, but these maybe my new favorite. Hope the orings stay smooth and consistant.

Diff does feel rough in your hand but once adjusted in the car it feels butter.

Anybody else notice the steering bump out under suspension compression?

Are the kingpin screws 3m threads ?
Looked in the online manual, but it just has part number

Yeah, I noticed that too. I believe the rear link is the same way, manual is opposite kit set-up.

Which spacers are we talking about? Spacers on the servo arm or something or?

Yes you can use the AE and the CR wheels on the rear without the hex. I don't know where it would put you as far as the rear width.

Spacers or shims for servo mounts.

unless you have a load of newly glued tires on AE rims, why would you want to use anything but the hex wheels? Hex wheels are of the future, I was surprised when I came back into this hobby a couple of years ago after being away from the game for over 15 years, that pins were still used on the rear rims.

Even if you do still have used AE rims, just get rid of them, as they are probably out of round anyway.

but yeah, you shouldn't have been driving an AE in the first place lol

Ah okay. I have a Futaba S9551 servo and i followed what the manual said for Futaba servo's regarding spacers/shims, which i think was the 2mm shim, and spacers for the 4 screws.
