the boot is good to have just push it in it be fine. the case it self holds the ring.
I know I'm bringing this quote back from the grave. But it's not true. The case doesn't hold the ring for the front / rear center CVD. It's only the boot. If you don't use the ring at all the bearing covers the pin hole about 25%. I think it might be enough to not use the ring or boot. But i'm a little scared not too.

Since the boots seem to be a absolute must to hold the ring. Does everyone have them last long enough? Anyone try the cheaper Mugen boots? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...-Joint-Boots-2

Another surprise while building it was I couldn't believe the rear chassis brace is connected to a plastic battery box
