My bad. I misread that. Did you accidentally use the 4x10mm screws?

Where on the body did you use the velcro? In those little cut outs on the side guards?

You basically just put one side of the velcro on the side of the mud guards and put the other side of the velcro on the inside of the body around the edges if that makes sense.

So basically just like every other kit? Only thing is most other kits have cut outs for the velcro so the body sits flush

It's possible those cutouts are for that purpose. I usually just eyeball it lol

They might stick out ever so slightly, perhaps .1mm at most. This is just due to the tolerances of the screws. Tighten them down and run it, any little part that sticks down will wear down pretty quickly. If you want you could also touch them with a dremel, shouldn't take more than a quick touch or two.

The "little cutouts" I think you're referring to are just flashing from the mold. The SC uses the same mold but adds in the nerf bar mounts so when they're not there you see a little flashing.

I like to run a long strip of velcro down the whole side of the guards and a whole strip down the inside of the body. Fuzzy on the body

no, used the shortest screws. they only stick out by like 1mm or less, but definitely enough to drag

Yes, velcro & body clips. You only have 1 race ruined by a flapping body to learn from the mistake, and make sure that your using a backup.

Coming to the final stages. Basically ready to solder when I came to a discrepancy in the setup sheet.

Stock springs on the car are Black fronts and Orange rears. Set sheet says the fronts should be orange and the rears should be red.

What is correct? I've got the cambers and ride heights set but saw the issue in the setup sheet.

Also are you guys running the battery in the rear or front of the tray?

Black front, orange rear. I run my battery forward, but that's because I had an issue with center diff outdrive slightly rubbing the battery.
