Rsc
Now that the FLM40010 XL Hybrid Bulkheads (front), HPI102692HPI "Bulletproof" Ring/Pinion Gear Set (shimmed, 30K Mugen diff oil and heavy duty grease 30K exterior of cup) and bottom A Arms installed. I got to working with the Race Suspension Conversion. I used longer screws M4 20 with M4 lock nuts to prevent the backing out and loosening of nuts. I think the kit supplies M4 12. I replaced the oring #75080 in the diff shaft, mine were already worn after only 2 motnhs for bashing.
Awaiting my A720 - BIG BORE ALUMINUM SHOCK SET to arrive. I'm using the stock ones for layup. You get a sneak of the rear.

Shock tower installation
So now the bulkhead and BP differential are complete time to install the tower. I did not use the screws that came with the towers. For the bottom half i used M4 20 and M4 lock nut in the rear to hold it all.
The top two screws were replaces as well. M4 10 In japan it is titanium (silber) LOL

Upgraded the steering servo
Part list
I removed the two screws that fasten the steering crank post to the lower plate to install the bearing.
Removed the plastic steering brace from both crank post and installed FLM 48000.
Done. I changed the stock screws and M4 12 screws (hex) to mount it back up to the lower plate.
I upgraded the joint cups into the bulkheads with heavy duty cup joint. It is the same for the rear.

Yup, that is what i used for this build. After I surveyed the stock list I only need the internals for a three speed and new radio and I have a basher. Must of the parts that came off were in good condition except the 5.9 engine. I will not touch the 5.9 engine ever.

Wing mount
I been tinkering around with doing a wing mount. I got a hot body wing mount and an extra e revo wing mount. As a last resort, i can cut a little but I wish not to cut to much of the body or mount directly to the body. I was Looking at http://www.neweramodels.com/item.cgi?session_id=emgjipwywjwsndalyyyrimpuuelffxyg&part_id=2873.

Steering Servo
I decided to use the Associated DS1015 Hi Torque/Hi Speed Digital Servo with RCE10380BK Racers Edge Aluminum Pro Adjustable Single Arm Futaba Servo Horn, and FLM Servo mount
Specs 14.5kg-cm/201.4 oz-in @ 6volt
Transit Time (sec/60degree) .108

Skid Plate
I had attached the Skid plate to make sure there is clearance between the servo and skid plate.
The skid plate come with these mounts
Instead of using the mounts that came with the kit I used (2) FLM47000 TVP Skid Brace http://www.fastlanemachine.net/proddetail.php?prod=FLM47000&cat=22. The 47000 center holes uses M3x.5 threads which is the same as skid plate receiving holes.

Servo attachment
This is how it looks from the inside
Screws mounted on the outside
Without the steering linkage mounted use the hole and gap to fasten the linkage. I had plugged the receiver and turned on the transmitter to set the servo at center (zero for my transmitter). Adjusted the length of my steering linkage and then I fastened the servo horn to servo.

Looks killer man, not sure about the aluminum body mounts though. My plastic ones take a beating, and I'm pretty sure they would be bent many times over by now if I used them.
