The 4PKS is pretty sweet, and teamed up with that Savox servo, the steering is VERY fast. I really like the menu and how everything is laid out. The receiver is quite small as well.

I have some Fasmask that I'm going to try, but it's so stinking cold here. I don't have any pin striping, though. I might take a trip up to the LHS tomorrow to get some. I need to give a multi-color paint job a try.

On the caster blocks, I was a bit confused. It doesn't show any spacers in the upper inner A-arm pivot, so I didn't put any there. The silver conical washers on the outer upper pivot make total sense, but it seems like there is a gap in front of and behind the upper inner A-arm. I was kind of thinking that the arm was free floating (and caster was determined by the inserts in the lower caster block), and it had to be free floating in order to allow you to change caster via the lower caster block inserts. Then I saw the caster spacers... They're not mentioned in the RC8Be manual, though... I was a bit confused by the vid as well. I need to go watch it again.
