Indeed I did escape customs charges (nice for a change !).
Build has been rather slow, as i have 3 other projects on the go and plenty waiting in the wings too
I've completed Bag A this monring, after boiling the arms (needed an opportune time with the Mrs out
) so the rear end is built, and the front diff is ready n waiting for me to get on with bag B
Impressions (bearing in mind i've never got up close with a 1/8th scale before)..
> its big - much bigger than i thought (ca 16" from hub to hub at the rear)
> quality of the components is pretty good
> boiling the arms went without issue, and possibly they are a little more flexible than before
> some screws are a little long (I hate lots of excess thread showing)
> I'm surprised by how many M3 screws there are - i'd have thought something bigger given the overall size of this thing
> the 3.5mm screws on the diff casing need a lot of grease to prevent stripping the heads (thankfully i had a spare in my kit)
So far though, can't complain for £120 shipped with the hop up chassis braces and losi bladders.
