Congrats.
Prepare to be amazed. I am already ecstatic about mine.

The only thing I am concerned about is the lack of RX box, but maybe it just requires some getting used to.

No time to start build tonight, but reading manual and impressed by a couple of things.

 

[Cheez]

Never done this before, gonna give it a try.

Getting started…

 

[Cheez]

Labeling of bags is numbered not lettered. A little confused at first.

 

[Cheez]

Interesting method, filling by weight.

 

[Cheez]

Center diff, letting bubbles bleed.

 

[Cheez]

Came together nicely ,sturdy and smooth.

 

[Cheez]

Front and rear diff bulkheads with labyrinth dust covers and diff height inserts.

 

[Cheez]

Sturdy and smooth.

 

[Cheez]

Starting out with diffs in lower position.

 

[Cheez]

Rear suspension.

The plastics appears to be stronger/sturdier. The gearboxes definitely beefier . The Mugen shock towers get my vote for higher quality. Xray offers an aluminum tower upgrade. I’m holding off on that for now. For a “Luxury “ kit Xray does cheap out in a couple of areas. Crappy droop screws and inferior bearings in the diffs for example.
