I set the car up exactly like the instructions said since this is my first build. I've got a 16t brushless motor from Carson Model-Sport in it with 30/65 gears. All the electronics are from Carson Model-Sport. Not sure of the history on that company but it looks like it's only available in Germany. I'll play around with the chassis more when I learn more about it. I have no problem setting up the suspension for a 1:1 car, but 1:10 boggles my mind.
Looks pretty good to me - well done!

Would you mind posting a couple of close-up photos of your velcro body mounting method including inside the body?

I've got a couple of kits to build and I'd like to try to do something like what you've done to not have body posts and clips protruding through!
