Sorry if this question has already been asked, but I was just looking at the pics of your OP12C off RedRC and was wondering, with the exception of electronics of course, what is needed to assemble this kit? Would it be easy to just buy a donor car (RC12R5) for building this kit?
What else would be needed? What are the steering turnbuckles from? the Body posts?, dampers etc?

if one were to prefer IRS rear adjustors and the serpent front end, would it be possible to combine OP300 kit with the OP105 main chassis plate?

im new to 1/12th and wanna no what the damper cause the car to do comparing them to the stock shocks
#165
The dampner responds faster and allows the car to transition quicker in turns, even going extremely light with the fluid in the mom- shock I could not get the same snap out of the car that I have with the tubes, that said the mono-shock was very easy to drive....just not as fast
