Wink Tools for 705 Build

Hi Guys!

I've bought myself a Serpent 705 and as it is my first RC Car which I have to build, I was wondering if someone could let me know what tools I would need?

So far I've tried to assemble the shock absobers, with a few problems!! Take a look at step 1.5 from the online manual:

I didn't thread the ball joint before turning it onto the shock rod, as it wasn't mentioned and I don't have the tools - was I correct in my assumption?

Also, if I follow the german instructions (only available online) it tells me to grip the shock rod at the point where the thread starts with side cutters - the english version says to use pliers!!! Big difference there!

Before I damage anything, I would like to make sure I have the necessary tools to do the job.
If any of you guys have built a 705, could you give me a couple of tips and maybe a list of tools you required.

Many thanks from a future 705 driver who is bursting to drive this thing!!!

Cheers, Mark.
