Hmmm. It was sold used but "as new in box". It's in very good condition - can't have had more than a couple of runs out in the garden or a very clean track but as it's my first SX I don't have previous experience to draw upon.
I suspect he just forgot to give me the extra bits - if it's meant to have the idler cover I guess I'll just order myself a new one. I don't think there's a Phil Booth specific manual so the only one I've got is the one I downloaded off the Schumacher site with each page as individual pictures (haven't they heard of PDF?!) . Being the standard SX manual, it just has all the standard kit shown.
The top link plates are the small U-shaped CF parts that sit on top of each diff housing right? Looking at them the rear one definitely looks different from the manual - the ball links are closer to the centre line of the chassis. The front one looks like it *might* be different to stock, but the difference is less noticeable.
Being an RTR model, should it come with any tools? I don't have any but then I don't particularly mind not having the official Schumacher ones. What do I need? I still have all my Wiha hex and nut drivers from eons ago - hex down to about 2.5mm and M3/M4 nut drivers. Do I need any smaller? From eyeballing the car I can't see anything else I might need, unless there are other sizes tucked away inside the diffs/diff housings.
