Hahaha. I love the reactions from you guys.

Yeah, we'll see how she holds up. I won't be doing anything extreme, mostly just playing around in some school yards and stuff. I've raced for the last 6 years so I wanted something to just have fun with and oddly I thought that a 210 with a gear diff and some bigger tires would give me something small, cheap, and fun to run. Plus it's not some awful Traxxas!

70% through the build now. I put the car in mid motor and the rearmost transmission mount/sway bar mount setup seems very odd. Anyone else agree? Why would the screw go through the arm mount and then have fixed lock nuts to thread into as well- awkward. Also the round plastic spacers didn't fit into my arm mounts, anyone else find this? The f/r hubs had a ton of bind in them too before I sanded them down.
