Sworkz 12M your differences to kit versions
Just out of curiosity im interested to know what issues you had and what upgrades you have done to resolve. It could be using brass or aloy front wishbone mount for more steering, shorter wheel base because of etc etc.
Me ive added the same servo as put into Kev's car as its heavier. Ive opted for a straight steering tie rods ball joints and put smaller joints and balls so i can reverse on steering plate. Ive cut away the centre section on the battery strap holder and placed esc in centre and wires go centrally over battery. Ive dremelled a hole on either side of the esc brace so the sensor wire can be fed through and made tidier so it goes in the wire section in the side wall of chassis plus other side ive fed the capacitor through which also makes neater and moves the weight where i want it. All wires for receiver neatly sit in front of esc and behind servo. Added washers ontop of knuckles to stop play. Added schumacher slipper pads along with hardened idler gear. Think the angle on the tie rods on the rear isnt right so drawn up a new rear tower and aiming to get made next month. Also filed away end section of plastic chassis rail to get access to the motor screws

theres only a few small issues,
The idler gear stripping...taking out the gear diff case at the same time, fixes for this.
fix
There are also lots of option parts coming which is great news setup wise prefer front shocks up on the outer, 500 front, 400 rear, kit springs, long wheel base, everything else kit setup. car feels great to drive

there's nothing wrong with the design of the car in kit form.

I know, but you changed yours with the brass bits so why?

Don't know what brass bits Steve's car used to have, but I use a brass RB6 ghea fronthe hinge pin brace. I find that outdoors it helps to calm the front of the car over ripples (especially considering that the s12 from kit seems to have quite limited droop) and also gets the car to jump a bit nose down easier which I prefer.

I'm running mine pretty much out the box bar springs. I put the ally rear shock tower mount on the car if I want to sharpen the steering up I will be doing more testing and will let Pete an answer know my findings

I found a brass block on the front makes a huge difference, but now considering testing moving the shocks forwards at the rear to see if thats better.
