Nice looking paint. What wing is that? From this angle it looks flat with no curve for downforce or it's upside down.

Kyosho mp9, it came with a white angled one but I like that one better plus I have black wheels and bar codes coming so it will look better

Grease the out drive shaft that goes in to the diff cases and ring gear. Also put a little grease on the ring gear.

The body is nice but I'm not a fan of the colors if anyone wants to take it off my hands!

That is the old location for the Roll bar before it was moved to the wing mount. They just haven't updated the molds to remove. They might not because the older style case is used on the RTR. I imagine eventually the RTR might change though.

Ya, I cut mine out. But in some way it might support the mount for the rear brace a little. But, I haven't had an issue with the mount breaking so it should be ok without.

There are pliers just for that. You can also use pliers and a sheet of paper towel at your risk.
