Hi there,

I was lucky enough to get one of the prototypes and having read the manual that Chaz wrote all I can say is read it - it has most of the tips you need to know about building the car in it already . The only thing I would say is on the rear inner hingepin brace don't fully tighten the screws until the hinge pin bushes are located otherwise might not get them in.

Enjoy the build, any questions just ask!

After finishing part B of the build (installing the front end), I would suggest test fitting your servo at this point. The benefit here is that if/when you dremel the nose plate (XF1002), the bits don't go all over the (almost) fully assembled car! You may find that you have to dremel a small amount from the upper most nose bridge piece to allow the server horn to reach full travel; again do this before assembling the rest of the car to avoid C/F dust getting all over your freshly assembled cube! Like Kevin, I had a prototype car and so there is a chance that the nose pieces have been altered for production to take this into account, so YMMV.

The manual is great and unlike other brands, you get useful advice at all key stages. I find the build of XFactory vehicles the least stressful of all the brands I have experienced and I put that down to Chazz's soothing words!

Thanks Toby. I like to think that you are sitting at your workbench doing the work whilst I stand by your side making suggestions along the way.

Hi maybe it's me put can someone confirm that... The rear rear wishbone hanger (which I got free thanks Darren) is it just held by the 2x screws up throw the chassis. Just seems to be the holes throw the rear may need fitting. The manual seems to stop just before this step. Just for peace of mind.

Yeah, 2 screws from the bottom only. The two horizontal screws were only used/needed on the squared.
