My new 210 build
Not been able to race for quite a while now, the building bug is still strong though. I caved in and bought a 210 kit, since the prices are so cheap. (It would be rude not to!)
The kit quality is as I expected, smooth and a pleasure to put together. But there have been a couple of issues.
I have it in MM 4 gear setup with a geared diff. The rear end assembly looked awful, the instructions didn't show the rear bumper at all, so I had countersunk screws protruding from the bottom of the chassis. Also the sway bar mounts were really weak, the nyloc nuts kept spinning and the screws still look like they should be longer to go through the upper holes in the gearbox. I wish my scanner was working, just so I could show the incorrect diagram in the manual. Thankfully Stu at JE helped me out with that one.
I also need to know how to cut out the pod shell, got the right scissors, but after painting, the lines still aren't clear. Can anyone post a clear pic of a cut one to help me out?
Rest of my specs -
Nosram matrix Istc with Lrp X12 6.5T
35/30 shock oil with stock springs (not seen other springs available)
Schu yellow minispikes rear, yellow staggers on front, med inserts
2000wt gear diff oil, dunno if I should change it
