Just finished up the chassis. All thats left is shocks and turnbuckles...dun dun dun.
No missing parts so far. Everything is going together smoothly! No binding what so ever. Everything moves freely and im really digging that! Building shocks and turnbuckles tomorrow, spray bombing the lid and heading to the track to get the diff broken in and slipper set. We just put calcium chloride down on the track last week and traction is better than it has ever been. So im excited to get this bad boy on the dirt!

has anybody tried different ball cups?
I was thinking maybe the kyosho ball cups?
my finisher turnbuckles didn't come in yet
I wanna use the kit ball cups with the finisher turnbuckles so I need something that will work with the stock turnbuckles

I noticed that the diff rings were not truly flat when I built my 4.2Subsequently on my B5 RM build I took the time to sand them down until totally flat and when built the difference was apparent.The only issue was it is time consuming and hard on the hands but the end result was worth the effort. On my B5M I bought a Bfast diff kit to try but still ended up sanding down the rings for spares.All in all time well spent!!
You might have already seen this, but someone posted a little trick when sanding diff rings.
Cut a square piece of foam double backed tape. Stick the backside of one ring to it and a small piece of wood to the other side about 2" x2" sq. You can apply even pressure when sanding in circle motions on a flat piece of sanding paper without trying to hold the rings in your finger tips. Worked great, no more sanded finger tips and less pain on the finger joints.
