For the belts, ours ended up being 2 notches tighter for the front, and per-instructions for the rear. I also noticed the front belt had an odd twist to it in a certain spot. Oh well. The car runs great...

I was just about to strip the hubs and see if I had made a mistake in assembly. Now that its finished, other than the esc and painting I look at the parts left and think "Oh shi.**. what have I forgotten?. Its like when you take something apart and have parts left when you are finished. Your mind plays tricks.

I did the exact same thing with the hubs. Then I put the pin in the axle and attempted to slip the hex over top. That didn't work either. Took about 10 minutes for me to figure out that the groove in the hex was actually a hole drilled from the side. The hex simply cannot slide over the pin (like standard 12mm hexes)...
PS:, a dab of anti-wear grease works great to hold the pin in the hex.
I too noticed the excessive extras that are leftover from the build. I immediately commented on how nice it was they gave us spares. My friend, however, shared your less optimistic outlook. Rest assured, all is well.
