No thanks!By the way Square produce very good quality screws. But they are a little expensive...

Kimbroughs are fatter in the middle area where the center pulley attaches.
The car goes together better with "skinnier" spur gears. I've found that with skinny spurs and the white bushings all is well with no binding with the upper deck.
I also bought (and didn't use) an Associated spur. Again too thick. I found at my LHS an HPI spur (it was white) that works perfectly. Except for some darn reason it was $8 instead of $4. Oh well, it works.

White bushings are a lot cheaper than the flanged bearings...

i paid $3.49 for 4 flanged bearings with shipping from hongkong 
i would recommend everyone to buy the white bushings with the car just to have the option

I'm gonna make heavy battery holders. I have it set up and hope to run a pair off tomorrow. I'm shooting for 20-25 grams each.
I'll have pics tomorrow I hope.
if this works I may make a few extra sets.....

To strap or to tape...
Some of us like to strap their battery, some of us taped their battery. Well in my case, Im taping it. Reason why is that I dont want to buy another set of race battery. I still have 3 race worthy nano tech stick pack that I used in my Tamiya F104. My F104 now is using a shorty lipos.
Since my stick packs wires are directly on top, strapping them on my S1 will not secure them 100%. So I cut a 3/4 inch slot on my chassis for the tape.Add to that the big flat head screw to stop the battery from hitting the belt.
