just sold my restored 'cap. i'd love to have built the booth version, but thats kinda of an astute/madcap hybrid.

If you're going to run motors that hot, def go for the TTC gear set, invaluable as the astute/cap diff can be a bit dodgy at times. if not, make sure you get the metal gear plate.

get some UJ's, better shocks, and 2.2 sized wheels as i'm fairly sure the stock wheels are 1.9, limiting your choice of tyres.

I also went for adjustable turnbuckles to replace the stock plastic arms.

the front hubs are a bit loose in the arms, but a 3mm washer sorts this out nicely.

can't think of anything else at the mo, if i do i'll let you know.
