Just got back from sunny manchester and have added a few pics of the kit so far, got the top deck, tank ect fitted, now its starting to look like a car! the roll over bar/handle also doubles as the brake cable mount where you attach the solid bar that runs to your servo through a simple alloy tube with a grub screw either end, the whole braking system is so simple but seems to work so freely with no binding unlike the disc brake systems seen on all other cars. as a note i did run a file over the back edge of one brake pad, but only very slightly, to be honest once the engine had been struck up it would have been sorted. you find on the other side of the roll over bar is the center belt tensioner, another simple design, screw at the top and slotted in the middle with another screw holding it firmly in place, so tensioning is done by just rotating the carbon mount then just retightening.
the tank is a strange design, really quite long and not very tall, one thing i did notice, the spring is very strong, the lip is always going to be firmly closed but i think they could of backed it off alittle! just my opinion. the tank sits on a pin either end with an o ring then a r clip, but there is alot of movement up and down, im sure i read somewhere they had done this to alter the height of the tank for clearance, but havnt included extra o rings to take the slack out, not a big issue.
Anyway everything bolts into place perfectly and all looking good, just the shocks to build now, which im looking forward to seeing how they feel with the floating pistons in the top instead of the normal rubber diaphram! Then just the electrics and motor to sort!
