Image attached
110118 is M4x4
110148 is M5x4

The correct grub screw for that part is M4x4 and is 110118, I have a packet here sealed and they are defo M4x4 inside. I think the manual is correct.

Must have been a running change at some point because all the drives that I have use M5 setscrews.

Default 110118

I received 110118 now. It is M4. I will test tomorrow but I'm sure it is M5 what I need for the gearbox.

And I want a refund from Serpent or Amain. Actually Serpent should give me a refund because their manual is faulty.

Default radio tray

how do you remove the radio tray for cleaning. unscrew the servo horn from steering servo. pop off ball cup from throttle linkage. what do you do about the brake linkage?

Pop the ball cup off the carb slide and the ball cup from the brake lever assembly.

Same as any other ball joint. You can use long nose pliers. It isn't that tight.

The plastic rod end. But do it lightly so as not to deform or damage the plastic.

@Ty. Could you just confirm that the setup you posted here is on a car with the 2.0 rear end?

Yep the off-road system works fine. Doesn't matter what blocks you use as long as the downstop gauge corresponds!

Default Life battery

Is anyone using a life receiver battery? Is so, which one and does it fit the battery compartment without mods?
