building feedback
I got the car yesterday and finished almost all but the shocks and bumper.
Man it was such an easy build compared w 2.0. Like Gary said, barely any trimming on plastics was necessary, harder diff cases which gives a lot better feel when turned in the self tapping screws, and pressed in bearing on the steering rack fixed the 2.0 issue. Even the ball ends were made much more accurately this time to the pivot balls. So unlike 2.0, no grinding was needed.
The only thing that consumed more time than usual was the floating servo holder. I put my serpent aluminum arm instead of the stock plastic and the clearance issue still existed. The arm(or the bolt head) was rubbing the holder. So I ground some edges on the holder and removed the spacer shims to move the servo forward.
I love the way the car looks. I can't wait to see her on the track this weekend.
One question: the split arm blocks in the front are 1.5/0.5. The default setting was not clear on which side faces lateral. Do u know? I just want to try the default set up first w 2000 diff oil.
