I think the #1 place people will fail on the build is which spr01 /spr01s to use. It is in the manual....

Hi guys,

I did a documentation about my build up of the car. Some tips and infos are also under the pictures.
You can find also some asphalt and carpet setups already at the PETITRC page of the A800FX.

Main page with setups and more:

Herr Machler, really liked the video of the race at Hann Munden. That turn marshall to the left looked like a real rookie.

EDIT: Just to make sure, that turn marshal was Ronald Volker, correct?

I seem to have different DCJs than what the manual calls out. How do I assemble these?

The newer units haven't worked on US style board tracks. They are purposely excluded from kits to ensure we have happy drivers....

Thanks for the reassurance. Consulted some of the local racers who run Awesomatix and they agree.

Very smooth and solid once they are together.. quite impressive.

Once i got the the hang of getting the first one together, the second wasn't all that bad.. just different than what I'm accustomed to.

Also, I see where it says to put standard spring on the front and soft in the rear.. I’m not seeing where it says how to distinguish between the two? All these were in a single bag in my kit..

Soft springs have a S inside a circle marked on them.
