Been a bit since I have been this excited fir a build project. Drag cars are not something I have taken a run at before.
Tracking also said there was a weekly giveaway in the box....what it really is

This certificate with a qr code for an entry into the weekly giveaway....I hear there is a $100 store gift card....I am sure I could figure out something to do with that.
 
Starting to look like something..View attachment 254304

Looking good!
One think I've always loved about the bolink/ rj speed kits are their simplicity.
Do yourself a favor and once you get a servo on there, measure and get proper tie rods/ends vs the included wire ones.

I can't remember if these kits come with proper servo mounts? On the legends I raced we just used 3m double side tape to mount them. On this nice flat chassis id be looking for some Ae aluminum servo mounts.
 
There are actually uses for cut washers like that on occasion. Hot Trick used to use some similar 10000 years ago. Maybe hang on to that til you finish the build.

I don't know if they do or do not sell similar esc and motor... just curious if you'd tried jennysrc.com for price and avail?
They are great, the gear IS new take off, not some kid's 3weeks used 'newly wiped off' junk! 🤣

Good call with the larger washers! 😎👍

Those tires look AWESOME!!! 😍

Thanks for the parts lead! Quick run to the hardware to sort out some chassis mounting issue....
