Is there anything, not listed on page 1 concerning the build. Plan on racing Sun n don't want to screw up haha
A 4mm reamer will come in handy to make sure there's no binding of the arms. I didn't have the issue on my first one, but many did. I did have that issue here through.
I also use a drill/power driver to start the screws threaded for the diffs, and other long screws, just make sure if using a drill the clutch is VERY weak so you don't strip out the hole. Do this before assembling any of the diffs. It'd suck to realize it after you have oil in, and trying to assemble.
I also use the drill on the camber & steering links, just pay attention to the thread direction.
a little grease helps in the hole.

Other than that it's a great build.
Whoa, Mr Pike has a tekno. Can't wait to see your future posts. Your tips have came in very helpful.
