I’m skeptical about radio plate setup. Yes everything clears. This ESC / radio plate leaves a lot to be desired.

Gonna roll with this for now. I’ll tidy up the wiring later.

Shock absorbers.

Coming along great. I always admired their touring cars.

Getting ready to add oil. I’m going with zero rebound. 550 cst front, 600 cst rear. These shocks feel much lighter than Tekno and Mugen.

Painting body, tidy up wires and final assembly later today.

Final assembly.

FINISHED!
Bench tested and took it for spin up and down the street. Friggin’ amazing.
PROS - Smoothest most solid drive train of all my rigs.
A arms are definitely beefy
I like the battery trays/ holders
Steering really rocks
CONS - front steering block/pillow balls didn’t come together easily.
Esc/radio plate too small, poorly designed. I had to add spacers under it in order for the wiring to clear the servo.
No receiver box.
