If you going to rinse out the bearings, check ballstud tolerances, run in the gearbox, tap all necessary holes, ream all of the hinge pin paths, drill pistons and prep each piece - remove flashing and tidy up, and of course, cut and paint the body..... you'll need an absolute minimum of 12 hours - I prefer to do it over 3 or 4 evenings.

Hmm, I like to do it properly so this weekend might be out of the question

That's a lot of work to bui;d a kit Is that down to the quality?

Mine went together like a dream, no flash to remove or anything like that...

Only difficult bit was the turnbuckles

Sorry, forgot to meantion turnbuckles. If you take a M3 x 20 screw and cut a slot up the length of it with the dremel (making a tap as such) and then use this to thread all of the ball cups. Use a bit of GT85 or WD40 on the turnbuckle as you thread it in for the first time.

If you do this, you will find that adjustment is really easy when on the car yet not sloppy or loose, and there it becomes alot more difficult to over tighted the rod into the ball cup causing yielding in the head and usually failure.

Takes the guts of a hour on its own.
Sorry for sounding a bit OTT, but if it's built right it'll perform better.

Took me 3 hours to build the chassis the first night, maybe another 4 hours the second night finishing the shocks, mounting tires, painting, installing electronics, adjusting trims and sorting the base tuning setup. Just generally all the little stuff before you can actually drop it on the track. Probably 6-8 hours from opening the box to putting it on the track for a shakedown.
