Onto electronics:
We opted for a Xpert Sn 3301 brushless servo which is a 25t spline. the kit comes supplied with perfectly good servo horns but we fitted one of our Answer servo horns, (specifically the smaller of the range ANSSHSS25-R)
ESC mounted above servo and motor fitted. The kit comes with a 21t pinion as well as three spur gears. We have gone middle size spur gear and 22t pinion.
Now the boring bit of any build, the shocks.. Though that said they are very nicely presented.
The caps come with proper bladers and a bleed hole in the shock cap. these caps locate onto the mounting lugs with a plastic slip in insert which is then held on by a nut.
Built!
Also included on the shocks are small shock covers, though as the car will be running indoors we elected to leave these off for now and see how we go. Some runners have mentioned they find the shocks a little stiff in action and have either removed one o ring or replaced with softer O rings, for now we will run as is and see how it feels.
The shocks have nifty little shock covers as well to aid protection from impacst and dirt. Initial thoughts are they would spin in all directions and end up facing everywhere but where they are needed but in reality the shock rod ends have little lugs which they locate onto to hold position.
