They throw the F&R Shock building all together in 1 step.
Also my second gripe with the manual is I wish it explained things better. I see the tuning tips in the back. But I still don't know the color codes relation to sway bar thickness

I have the FT kit, Is it suppose to come with threadlock and a 4-way tool things?
I found the manual absolutely a breeze and well done. (other than the Locktite mistells)

All AE manuals have been good to me. MUCH better than any Axial or Losi manual.

rc8be manual was a little better I think but this one wasn't too bad though a picture showing screws would be nice. The manual for my wraith kit was awful though part numbers were even wrong in it.

Evil,

I would def. go with the nano-tech's, I had 3 gens ace lipo's that were basically brand new but once I saw the nano's were in stock via US warehouse I sold my gens ace to get the Nano's, they'll be here tomorrow so I'll take pics etc...... For three nano's cost me a little over 110, the gens ace cost me almost 100 for three of them....... The nano's rated at 65c and gens ace 25c, it is def. worth the extra money........


Moto,

Here you go:



I cut the plastic housing for it to fit, some have just trimmed it in areas to get it to fit in the same area, and others have just simply switched it over to the receiver side which also needed some adjusting to fit........

The turnigy nanos are shorter too so I will be able to take the long screws out of my saddle mounts the gen ace make it a tight squeeze.

Ive never had any issues with genace batteries or turnigy, I've had some others swell protek, and integy. But with everything I think it is a gamble you might get a good one you might get a bad one.
