Yokemad, i took your advise on the chassis upgrade and the car is the best i've ever driven. Car felt better all over the track. i took the stock set up for the '12 and modified it slightly. i was 2 tenths faster on my second lap driving the car, 4 tenths over all, after getting used to it, from my '11. The '12 is a must have. Thanks

Before I go too crazy, building the front end, the arms front and rear are not dropping freely. I have only the arms on now. When the screws are tightened they bind up. Now the arms move freely on the hinge pins so that is good, there's just some binding between the hinge pin holders and the arms. My building experience tell me to lightly sand (2000 grit) the ends of the arms till they move freely. Any other methods? or am I doing something wrong?
Sorry for the newbie-ish question...just been a while.

Now repeat with the other pivot black as necessary.
Repeat on the other side of the car.
You should now have a wishbone that is loose enough to move freely but without slop.
If there is too much slop, repeat the procedure but with less pressure on the wishbone.

You may also try the build tip of tapping the arms lightly with a screwdriver handle in order to ensure that the holders are seated properly square to the arm....

Whenever I tighten the screws on the pivot pin holders, do them both up, now loosen one of them, apply some pressure to the wishbone (as if pushing the wishbone length way to change the wheelbase), in the direction of the pivot block you just loosened and while holding that pressure, re-tighten the screw.
Now repeat with the other pivot black as necessary.

Than manual say's that the link from servo to steering should be around 58mm, but that's too long.
Mine is roughly 55mm

I converted my T3'11 so I bought some new steering link's, and Dremel'd them down by a couple of mm each end, then screw the rod ends onto them.#

i recently ordered some things from hk and paid for the "2-4" day delivery. they shipped my order 4 days later. Shipping did only take a few days though, after they sent it. 
At least my parts arrived undamaged and I didn't have to pay brokerage.
You could send a polite email asking if they got your online order. My friend ordered from the same company I ordered from and got his stuff in 3 days. He emailed to say he was going to a big race and wanted to ensure he received his order in time. I didn't email. Got my stuff in 7 days
