i see you're running the long/tall shock bottoms - is that because of running the m-chassis TRF shocks? i remember seeing something that if you run 'this' shock you can run the standard bottom, but if you run 'that' shock you need the longer bottoms

Built without the internal o ring & with the longer shock bottom due to the -4mm length vs. the standard damper. The Hope is to find the optimum shock length & keep the piston centered.

Correct. The shocks are the RC Aluminum Big Bore Damper - M-Chassis #42291 https://www.tamiyausa.com/product/it...oduct-id=42291

Mounted - 5.1mm Front, 4.2mm Rear at 4.6/5.0 ride height. (travel limited with droop screws, that may change as I have no idea how much droop I'll end up running until I test this weekend).

The dampers have 8.7mm of travel off the chassis, you also gain 1.9mm of travel by eliminating the internal spacer.

I'm on step 3 or 4 of my build now. The foam is hokey. As is the aluminum glass tape. What's the purpose of this tape? I didn't see any included with the kit.
Did you guys use the molybdenum grease on the plastic gears? Seems a little thick for my liking. I typically use Tamiya ceramic grease or white lithium on plastic gears.

I did put a little molybdenum on the gears.
The diff is a lot easier to take out periodically too clean
