And for all that hi guilder design there's no servo saver built in and we're expected to install one of them clunky looking Kimboro things.

Shock oil looks thin as tap water. Says 20 wt in the book. Any one have a cross ref to Mugen/Assoc oils please.

After the moaning comes the praise for clever diff install design and class act suspension.

Pretty car for sure.

The slots are just pre-beveled. Its easiest to use a 7/8" sanding drum to get the cells perfectly in there.

The car is just perfect. The most consistent car I have ever driven. Cant wait for Vegas!
