JDM, in step 12, are you sure you installed the inserts B3 and B4 the correct way ?

the round plastic balls P7 ?
They got a dab of grease, and inserted into the arm.

I then screwed in the MA7 into outer arm piece, and then took inner half, and screwed it on too, so they are joined.

Then I pushed the MB5 with the rough surface first into the hole as shown in the picture.

Are you calling K1 a spacer ?

Yeah I was refering to P7. So P7 goes in the arm completely correct? And also how did you get the shock dampers onto the car?

Thanks for your time,

Yes, the P-7 slips rigth into the arm. it should be able to rotate freely and smoothe , once in place.

The shocks just snap onto the balls that you have installed. They are pretty tough to press on with your fingers.

I'm on vacation right now but when I come back I still need to put my dampers on the car.. What is a easier way to snap them on without struggle?

Thanks

JDM, you should be able to use your fingers.....

If it extremly hard to snap on, then try and rotate it half a turn, and try again. Im not 100% sure, but maybe they are meant to snap on in one direction only. This seems to work for me.

Pyrodon, looking forward to seeing your paintjob

you should be able to use your fingers to push them on. But if it is too much of a struggle, get needle nose pliers and somthing soft to put inbetween them and the shock and gently squeeze until they snap into place

Hello! I'm thinking about buying this Tamiya Subaru Drift Spec. I already have receiver, transmitter, and servos, but i wonder if i need this electronic speed control too, or is it included in this kit?
