| you are picking the wrong race... race at the track, not building your car

| DAAAAAAmn.....those are the greatest words of wisdom I've ever heard from Joe :P. He's right though. It takes time. Took me about 3 nights to build my Mugen. BUt if you do it really carefully it could take a few days. Take your time when you get the car. Put it together by following the manual (Serpent Manuals are REALLY good) and then bring it to the track and have someone look it over.

| A few things in the manual are confusing. When it asks for the rear fiif bearing it shows it as a shielded bearing when in fact its an open bearing. When doing the end play and clutch gap have any show you how to do it. He has a quick and simple way of doing it. The manual is confusing on that topic and without the right tools you will never get it right.

| I had some verbal guidance form a local Hobbie store, I was in the back room of the shop for nearly a week (Say 20 hours lapse)... I took all the time I could to get it right, and at the end it was very worth while... Even though I'm a novice driver, my car runs very well (Or so was said by a couple experinced drivers that drove it at the track), with exception of a few changes it was set up by the book.
It took my almost the same time to build my XRay, which I havent even put in the floor yet.
