First I would reccomend getting some sort of electric screwdriver and hex tips for driving the screws. Make sure the screwdriver has a torque setting.

Build tips:

-Ream the suspension arms - I just used a 4mm drill bit instead of buying a reamer.

-Remove flashing from all parts - I found that the bulkheads and arms had a bit of mold flashing left on them.

-CA the edges of the CF parts.

-Because I'm anal I completely disasembled the diffs and shocks to make sure everything was lubed and properly tightened....I didn't find any problems so you're probably safe to skip this step.

-Use red loctite on the 4mm screws for the front knuckles...Blue didn't do the job for me.
