Trips- Good job dude. BTW you may want to try the rear suspension links (towards the servo) in the hole further outward so that the front and back links are parallel. This gives more camber gain which allows you to use less reactive caster. Try both positions and let me know what you think. You may also want to try the medium ball stud for the back links to get a little more reactive caster. Again I would be interested in whatt you think about it.

Also, you probably want to round off the front of the clevises so that the outside front wheel doesn't catch when turned near maximum deflection. The instruction manual mentions it in section 15 noting it as a racers tip.

Regarding the radio install, if you can you may want to sit your rx on its long side and mount it behind the servo. That way you can put the transponder mount on the chassis for lower cg.
Thanks for the tips...

It's not clear in the picture, but those are the tall ballstuds in the rear, I'll try the other combinations when the real part arrives.

I did notch the fronts of the clevises a bit, again, it's not really clear in the pic.

AS far as the receiver goes, that XXXTRA is in there just for tonight, I'm getting an XXL to replace it in this car.
Later,
