Very nice build. What other brands have you built and how does this one compare?
For the rear shocks, I noticed the mounting bolt does protrude much more than mine. It looks like you missed installing the two spacers/washers that go behind the shock. I also wish they had lock nuts for securing the shocks.
Haha no, its an old handle from playing AOE2.
For buggies, I've built a 3racing Cactus, and an Associated B4 a long time ago. Also built a Tamiya XV-01 rally car. I think the 3racing build was actually better, clearer directions and better hardware (less plastics). The RB7 manual does weird orientation changes of assemblies between steps that I've not seen other manuals do. You definitely have to stare at it a while to figure out what's going on. The main plastics and alloy components on the Kyosho are nicer.
Thanks for noticing the shock mount, I'll check the instructions again.
