The kit comes with two sets of 1.0mm and .5mm alum. washers for front ride height adjustments, and it is pre-drilled for a servo. The servo mount also has shimming spacers for shimming bump steer and you shouldn't have fitment issues with most makes of 1/12th scale servos.

I was trying not to use the aluminum spacers. The crc stuff you just loosen the screws and slide the shim in and out. No need to actually take the screws out. Much faster and easier that way.

Does anyone make ride height adjuster for it like the crc ones? I tried the crc ones and the space is to close together.

It's very light, and is good for Stock or Stock Spec, not enough downforce for mod.
But it is one of the most "realistic" 12th bodies I've found, so I run it all time

A also re-enforce them as Robert said.

It's nothing compaird to a Parma Zytec, it's really agressive! the BA004 (Bomb "R" is a bit more stable).

Note, it's a really high end body and is really thin Lexan. I re-inforce the front body posts with a small piece of lexan and double side tape.

Best Regards Robert

Here you go, these are what you are looking for:

Get two sets if you don't cut down the tires.

The Futaba 9650 is a perfect fit. (Remember that it uses a 25 spline servo saver, the kit's is 23 spline.)

agreed, removing the screw and reinsterting the screw thru a loose shim is a PITA. there is a set of shims similiar to the crc plastic shims for fine tuning. check out 'manutech' . AMAIN hobbies stocks them, but oddly stormer doesn't.

FYI manutech also makes a set for the CRC/L4 strut layout.

you can get a half dozen for the price of one TQ booster, but you need to rig your own wiring and switch if you want.
Tony - I have one of these but the instructions leave a little to be desired. How do you wire this up ? I get that the end with JST connector goes to the receiver, but how do you wire the other end (to the battery I suppose ?). I'm using a Tekin RS if that matters. Any insight is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

I have one and I just soldered and shrink wraped 2 short wires to the + and - pins and soldered them to the battery + and - on the ESC. Works well.
