per putting it together, you will be totally fine the manual is very good. not quite as good as an xray manual but better than the 8ight/8ight - t. if you have any questions the electric off road sections have a bunch of very helpful and exceedingly knowledgable people and it tends to be better populated. i am very thankful for the help i have gotten here but sometimes have to be a little patient as it seems like there are only like 2 dozen consistent posters in this forum whereas the electric offroad seems like around 100.
having blown a bunch of money on erevos/axials i am sold on the race pedigree for bashers.
