| Well, I made alot of progress this weekend getting the car built. My main problems are shocks and getting the servos and linkages setup properly. Are there any tricks for the sterring servo? I am afraid that when I connect it to the servo saver the steering will be to far one way or another. Should I do anything to try to get it as close as I can the first time? I know it wont be perfect but I hate having to take alot of stuff apart to change the servo arm position. Also can any post pics on where they put there transponder and wires? Thanx guys.
I hope to be out this weekend. If not I may come just for some help in getting it together if you guys dont mind.

| There are a few things you are going to have to take into consideration and maybe even improvise a little in order to get them to work correctly (A bit overwellming by the book eh?).
I'm pretty sure if you take your car to the track on Saturday you will find the advise you need to get it ready for the race on Sunday.

| Is it me or are the dogbones too short? I have swing shafts coming but it may be another week or two.

| No the dog bones are correct.
check your track width.. make sure you have 100mm
each side.

| Andy, DJ
I will probably need your help on sat if you guys are out with things like this. I have it almost all setup. I am now putting in the top plate and arranging my wires. Biggest thing now is engine and linkages. I also may need some help on the shocks. Thanx guys.

| I suggest useing the cvd's in the front of the car and dog bones in the rear. Trust me, you will thank me later. Do not bother with dog bones in the front and if you do use the 198 track width in the front. I will not be out at the track for a while. I have alot of big races coming up and need to keep my car maintenance down, I am getting worn out.

| DJ,
I ordered the CVD's but Andy said they wont be in for a couple weeks, so they are on order. But for this sundays race I may have to wing it. Get some rest :)

| Couple more questions. For the engine, i cant seem to get the flywheel to grab the shaft. I put in the clutch nut screw as much as i can (which may not be enough) and when i turn the flywheel it doesnt grab the shaft because once the piston gets to the top the flywheel slips. Do i have to push the flywheel into the brass cone until it locks into place?
Also, where is the side belt? In the kit i have three extra little belts but have no idea where they go and i cant seem to find a belt big enough for the side.
Last. when you do the two speed how far in do you screw the little tiny screws on top? Not the ones used for 2 speed adjustment, but the ones that hit the metal block thing.

| I got the other belt. What I thought was three little belts was the side belt folded. I am kind of at a stopping point. I am trying to get the engine together but cant seen to get the flywheel on right. I am going to come saturday. If anyone is thier and doesnt mind helping me for a little bit I would greatly appreciate it. Thanx everyone.

| Andy, In your opinion, what happened to my car in the front end, could have been caused because of the modification in the shock tower???
Oh Men... Am I the talking one today....

| Andy, that would be great. Please let me know the part number for the spacers and also for the L shaped battery already assembled. I would like an extra just in case. If you can think of anything that might help me out let me know and i can order it all at once. I dont think i need anything extravagant until i get used to the car. Thanks.
