Roger that I've got the first ones installed, and trying to get it back together, it's kindof a pain to get this through the bearing holes.
Other than that, yes 6 screws and taking some things off to get the bushings out and bearings in. I think putting it back together is the hardest part so far.


Thanks !
Ok, it only took about 30 minutes to do this after I got the first one figured out.

The only things I have questions about now are:

1. If you tighten down the arm screws, the shocks don't go up and down very easily. Took me a sec to get that right
Does anyone thing the Aluminum Shocks help this little guy ? I heard the 180 motor and the bearings were the best upgrades.
Motor is definitely louder than the stock one. I'll see how fast it goes in a bit.

2. I tested all the bearings by hand before reassembling, and they seemed to be smooth.
When I test drove the car it still stops pretty fast, doesn't seem to "glide" in comparison to the previous parts.

Should you put WD-40 on the wheels or anything to help with the smoothness?
