  1. Thanks for putting this together. There are a lot of useful tips that are not in the manual. I also like that you follow the manual as far as shock/camber/steering link positions. Fantastic all around.

  2. Thanks Neil. I used to do the manuals for Team Associated and know that it’s sometimes not always clear once it’s done. I figure these builds might actually make things even more clear than just what’s on the paper.
