The only thing that is on my 'concern' list, is as shaun said, the steering rack. It may have channels to help remove 'dirt', but what about if a couple of grains of sand get stuck in those channels? We've all seen how much sand is in the astro turf that we run on here in the UK.

We'll see anyway.

I appreciate the kind comments and many thanks to Jimmy for the link to Racer's online build of the 22...

Yes, I am having the weekend off.

The online build will continue on Tuesday as I need to use the photography studio at the office. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask them and I will see if I can help.

For the record, you only get the one body in the box and TLR don't include any tyres. You do get two sets of wheels though, but you will need to invest in a 5mm nut driver for the slipper clutch adjustment!

They're Griff - and you get two complete sets of them.
Hetros will hopefully be arriving with the main kit+spares shipment for those who haven't fully embraced their Griff-ness and openly come out yet
