i dont think a servo horn was ever included in the kits. just use a horn that fits your servo (try to use a reasonably weak one that will break before the servo instead of a servo saver though as the torque required from the steering is too much to get a nice sharp feel)

as migsy says get the xbrace as in the long run it will save you money on gearbox tops. a lot of yardys setups for the x10 will be a perfect starting point for you untill you get the big bore shocks then any of the x11 setups will work. all the info you will ever need is either on here or on www.the-pred.co.uk (hope the link is ok admin, if not pls delete) as well as all the help you could ever want.

hope you enjoy the car

personally i use a generator and power supply as it is the easiest way. either get a good lesiure battery or a cheap genny, which ever suits your budget. for a one off im sure one of us will have a spare outlet you can jump off to help you get started
