where are you guys buying kits and parts from? Desoto seems good but shipping charges are making it super hard to make it attractive. $30 shipping fee for a kit and parts when you use the Serpent10 discount code?

I know it’s too late but I did see that Desoto had free shipping on orders above 250 earlier in the week.

Seems you can use only either the coupon or the free shipping, not both.

Are the aluminum rear uprights worth it?

Thanks!

The lower front arms are super tight. Even with a reamer it took like 5-6 minutes of work on each arm to get them to a point where the pins would slide in easily. Thats probably the tightest arm i've seen on any RC car so far.

They are meant to pivot on the suspension holder inserts, not the arm.

I get that, but why make them so tight that you almost need to use grease to get them in?
