If so, which parts are missing? also, someone I know who has just bought one has trouble fitting his speedo in and has had to cut out part of the bodyshell to make it fit. I would be running it with a nosram tc spec brushless. Are there issues of fitting this speedo in the car? These have probably been covered before but would just like a black and white answer! Thanks a lot

At the moment the SP kit is supplied as the original car and the LAW35 upgrade pack along with a Balkan body and wing.
To build the car to the SP geometry you should really buy 42mm front shock shafts (W5184-04) and ideally 50mm rear shock shafts (W5193-01) although as the ZX5 kit shafts are 54mm you can always get to the same place via internal droop limiters.
That will get you a car that runs as an SP.
There is a thread on RcTech.net (search for RogerM posts in Electric offroad and you'll find it) which details the exact differences between a "kit SP" and a converted car to "SP" ..... I will try to copy it over to here later for you.
Basically the missings are;
one-piece motor mount (not a performance issue really)
SP kit includes the LAW31 ali front arm brace
the velvet coated shock bodies (again no difference on the track)
SP kit uses the RB5 shock cartridges which are an improvement
shock shafts as mentioned
hex screws (DC Racing do a comprehensive screw kit for about £10)
you will have all the transmission options, the SP kit is direct drive 4wd only .. no one-ways.
Body wise the Balkan body (SP shell) is big enough to fit any brushless speedo under (as is the Bullet) so no worries there. My car has LRP TC fitted so don't worry.
Anything else please ask!!!!!!!
