update, took a guess at the diff rings. Putting the tranny together now, On step 20 it says to use the 3x35 screw to bolt the cases together and use the 3x6x2 plastic collars. However I cant use the collar with one of the screws. Its the top furthest back one. Basically the 2mm collar is to wide. Kind of hard to explain with words. I must say im not all that impressed so far. The car uses way to many different plastic collars, were I think they should all be aluminum for the price of the car. And the packing of the parts is a joke. I have open bags everywhere,The mid motor parts need to be in there own bag. I have had to disassemble some of what I have already built, because the mid motor parts are in the same bag as the rear motor and the parts look very similar. To me so far it just looks like I paid 450 bucks for a losi 22. Now hopefully if I ever get it on the track I will think different. But so far, not impressed. I have built 1/8 nitro buggies faster than it has taken me to put this thing together

Packaging isn't their strong suit, plastic instead of aluminum won't effect performance. Take your time going thru the build and be patient. The build instructions aren't the clearest but my gf,, who has never built a kit, just built hers in about 6hrs. I only helped with the diff.

Dbl check your assemblies and the kit will reward you on track. It's a 2wd buggy after all, it doesn't get much simpler and the road to excellence isn't always an easy one.

KC gotta look at them real close. you can also feel the difference. the smooth side has the rounded edge. it will all be worth it once you hit the track. I practiced today and man the car just does everything right.... I would spend $400 again for the car.

Well I must say I'm think I'm very good at building kits and overall maintaince. I agree 2wd buggy kits are easy to build. I built my 22 in 3 hours. Just saying the kit should have atleast aluminum rear anti squat and rear toe plates. But these plastic collars are a joke. I mean come on atleast stamp on them what mm they are. Shouldn't have to take calipers and measure all of them. But the one collar that goes with the 3x35 screw on the top furthest back will not work. I guess I'm gonna have to cut 2mm of the screw and not use the collar cause the space where the collar goes isn't wide enough for it to go against the diff case

I'm not in fron tof my buggy right now but you are talking about the screws that go through the case and into the aluminum motor plate?

If it's the collars in this pic, i'm using the shorter diameter ones. Can't remember if these were included in the kit or not...prob not...

Easiest way is by touch. It's fairly obvious though.

If the car quality and build is a joke, I'll buy it from you $200.

If the spacers arent sitting on the tranny flush you have the wrong spacer. The one that goes there has a smaller o.d.
