I finished my kit built tonight! Picture attached, I can't inline images until I have ten posts.
I still need to paint and mount my body ('17 Raptor) - Going to try to do it tomorrow. Going with race red for the whole body, and black for the vent and bed. It's the exact same paint job IHasRC put on his MT410, but it's also the colors on my daily driver '01 Ford Lightning
I'm considering using the Pro-Line mounts (already have the replacement kit with just the grub screws and caps) drilled and tapped into the stock body posts for now, then ordering the actual SCT410 mount kit from eBay just to have in case I mess up the drilling/tapping or it breaks from being too thin after.

I wound up buying the Tekin 1700kV combo. I have a good time soldering, it's like mini welding

I'll have to send back my 14T pinion, don't know why I thought it would fit. I was finishing up my build tonight and noticed the manual even said 15T was as small as you can go. I went ahead and ordered a 15T tonight.

Looks like a nice upgrade, I need to pick them up.
