At the f2 connection, I had two extra 4mm washers that came in that parts bag, put one each on the head side of the screws, and the other four as shown in the instructions on the back of the damper stay to eliminate that slop.

My 10 year old niece and her girlfriend from school just finished building this kit, she thinks seeing it sounds like a busted egg beater you might have used a screw that's too long on the diff cover and damaged the crown gear, she said if you Undone the cover you might be able to use a hobby knife to repair the damaged gear before it self destructs itself.

Hi, like I would be that stupid! Actually it was because I left some spur on the G6 gear and it was tapping the gearbox case when rotating. So yes, a little stupid hehehe 👍🏻👍🏻 All fixed now lol.

Great build! Mine is backorder, I have 3 on going builds presently. One is a TRF gas that I'm converting to electric. I received the electric motor mount and esc for this build. It will have a quite new vehicle life. The gas sound and smell is awesome! I can't drive it anywhere near my house anyway. I await the 45 anniversary car.

It’s hard to beat the convenience of electric, especially if you’re trying to be discreet. Even 1/8th scale electric conversions don’t lack for power and duration.

That looks like a very nice build :) I can understand why people might want hop-ups on this car, but at the end of the day most people will never run them, like you they'll be shelf queens and never see any running at all. Personally I'd definitely run one if I had one, I'm not one for shelf queen cars, so I'd get a few upgrades. Great video as always, look forward to seeing the bodyshell finished soon :)

I have anticipated it’s release for months now and had one on back order through tower hobbies. Last night my wife goes to bed and starts yelling at me, “who just spent $250 at Horizon Hobbies” I didn’t realized the order I placed months ago just shipped through tower and was finally charged. I was laughing because my wife sanctioned this purchase but the timing couldn’t have been worse right before Christmas while the bank account has been taking a beating over Christmas presents. Let’s hope my back ordered blockhead doesn’t also ship in the next couple of days because then I’ll be in real big trouble.

Instead of those upper arms with all the play in them just make up some turnbuckles. I'd assume you probably already have most of what you'd need. Rod ends and balls you probably have from so many other kits and upgrades. Probably just need to figure out what length turnbuckles you need.
