Second issue is the o ring in the drive shafts cause the suspension to bind badly so I had to leave them out.

The arm plastic seems very different to the rest of the kit. They feel rubbery, trying to snap them off the parts sprue just lead to bending and stretching of the flashing. That's probably to make them flex instead of break in a crash.
That's a bummer for sure, I haven't built mine yet but will keep an eye out. I had a similar issue with the DF03ra suspension limiting due to the foam pads called for in the instructions. Sometimes you wonder if they even built it the way they instruct themselves Hopefully the rest of your experience is a positive one!
