Any experienced folks here have any do and don'ts for me as to building my 5B SS kit? Anything to look out for or problems I may come across? Anything to do different than the instructions tell me?

TIA!

Be sure to get a good kill switch,you don't want a 30+ lb beast runaway[]

I would get a Neu 2230.[>:] That would be a beast on 12s lipo...

Thanks frumpy and yes a good kill switch is a must and will be on the buggy prior to running.

How about anything as it relates to the actual build process?

Here's a page with a build on it. I haven't read through the whole thing but I'd imagine they'd state any problems they had.

Pay attention to the front a arm and hub assembly. The lower a arm goes in the middle of the hub not on the bottom as I and others have mis-read the manual on the assebly and left scratching our heads as to why there is only about 1/4 inch of ground clearance from the shock skid plate to the ground!

Great info on that, now I am going to have to go and check what I did to be sure I did it correctly.

I agree with the others a good fail safe kill switch is a necessary item and should be first on your list. All so do the front hub c clip conversion.

What is the conversion for the c-clips you mentioned?

Here is a 100 segment video build of the SS page by page.
It offers a lot of building tips and tricks along the way.
