Default 12L3 assembly

Hi all,

Does anyone have any hints on assembling the 12L3 front suspension?

From the picture, it looks like use (top to bottom) e-clip, 3 kingpin shims, upper suspension arm, 1 shim, steering block, lower arm, spring then e-clip.

Should the kingpin move as free as a 1/10 TC car or should I leave it snug? I normally open the kingpin hole with a 1/8" drillbit just enough to allow smooth free play, but is that too much.

Is it important to use the elctrical tape around the battery cells on the chassis?

Any other kit hints?

Thanks
