"@Aussie Top Force: Interesting choice on the suspension hangers, I haven't broken a single suspension hanger yet? As for the TRF spring set, it helps, but in the long run I decided for Associated springs instead: The TRF springs are all very soft (I think they are intended for dirt/clay use only) and won't cut it if you drive on astroturf as well."

Note I haven't broken any either. They just tightened up the rear end and reduced some 'slop'. In fact i haven't broken anything on the 201 and its had some hard landings! I race on clay, no astro turf on Aus tracks. Blue springs rear, black up front, reverse the pistons in the shocks (front to rear from kit standard) and 40wt oil all round is a good place to start - for clay, dry and dusty. Yes the motor cover has issues, but electrical tape fixes that. Wing mounts, yes they get lose. The alternative to longer screws is proper self tapping screw. Other than those minor issues the car is an excellent unit!
