I'm very happy to say that I've managed to find my dream chassis, the SDW!

I just want to know if there's anything special to know when building it

Any tips and tricks on the building/handling on the car would be appreciated!

Thanks!
Yeah, be careful when you assemble the servo saver. The SDW uses a trimmed version of the servo saver post. The spring however, is original length, if you can screw it on there without stripping the threads, you got it. Unfortunately for me, I had to order a new one. My fix, trim the spring a little, and round off the end where I made my cut, so it won't "dig in."

For the drive train, proper shimming is recommended. Follow Yokomo's instructions, and then play around with the shimming 'till it feels right, not all fit exactly the same way. Pick up the optional shim pack if you can.
