The front end

The steering mounts onto the front bulkhead. Kit is plastic 25 degree once I get the brass bulkhead will fit that and it uses inserts to change castor angle.
The servo then mounts to chassis depending on your servo depends on the number of shims to use for correct spacing. In the kit comes with 4 different thickness shims and the manual tells you which to use for your make.

Once the top plate is fitted its on to the front wishbones and steering knuckles. The steering knuckles come with 3 different type arms to change Ackermann angle. Kit setting is number 2.
The front hubs again have inserts to adjust castor angles. As the bulkhead is 25 degree I used the 5 degree insert to give 30 degrees castor. The kit setting suggests just using 0 degree to make 25 degrees.

Again once the front wishbones are mounted on the car there is no binding to provide a smooth suspension.

When the front end is finished its on mounting the shocks and onto the electric install.

Plenty of room is provide to get the electrics in and a neat job can be made.

The wing has 2 different sets of inserts to have different angle either 2 or 4 degree and both supplied in the kit.
