Extra stiffening added, hole closed in buttom of bulkhead
22mm bulkhead spacing retained
6mm screws supplied a little long
5mm screws sit flush with motor mount and will not hinder meshing motor

2x0.2mm shims to remove end float on diff
Bulkhead caps carry over so ballstud will be 1mm lower than old car
New single piece servo mount and steering rack. Note orientation of turnbuckle, the wrong way round it will foul the top deck
Shims and washers added below rack to prevent it jumping off bearings in impact
Always chamfer the top deck holes slightly to allow for some manufacturing tollerence where screw head meets thread
Personal preference built my car with graphite plastics
Optional DCJs and 4mm hexes fitted
Extra strength put 4mm grub screw in unused hole in rear upright
Sits below top of upright and adds strength
Use threading tool to thread front hubs square
Take sharp edges off bottom of droop screws to prevent them digging into chassis
Getting there
2mm shim included in kit as cap is 1mm lower than old car
I recommend fitting the roll bar to the ballstud first as it is very tight to fit. I screwed ballstud into old bulkhead so I could get hold of it properly
 
Shims for stiffening motor mount included in the kit
Shocks carry over from old car, plastics and tollerances have been improoved. 0.2mm shim added in body before O ring to tighten fit
Ball cup material and fit improved over old car
Ready for radio gear
