Default RE: XRay XB808 thread.

Great car.

The plastic piece that hold the throttle linkage on the servo arm needs to be flipped the other way holding the linkage further away from the servo.

The lower brake linkage needs bent a little or it will drag. The brake lever is lower than the servo arm. Use the left over 1mm Al bumpsteer shim to lower the lower brake linkage on the servo arm.

Take your time threading screws into new plastic. I've got mechaninc hands and even mine were numb after a few pages. Take your time and use grease or oil on the threads. Once the screw has been installed it goes in and out easy, but the first time cutting threads in plastic strong as steel is tough.

Build the car with a tonys screw kit. Use good drivers. I use Hudy SAE drivers. The only metric driver this kit needs is 1.5mm, standard for everything else. Keep the supplied xray screws as spares.

Keep brake caliper play to a minimum. .5mm space tops as the instructions say. They pads should seem like they are dragging, but once they are in the car it'll be smooth.

Didn't need to shim the diffs.
