Cheers, I used Fusion Hobbies for my last build but they kept nousing up my order and stuff went OOS after I bought it.
Will check out modelsport (I recall the name now but couldn't remember it)

Looks great, liking the blacked-out front grill!
I went for Fasttrax 85mm shocks all round with a slightly softer oil in the front - 30wt and 35wt, plus foam tyre inserts, and it handles much better. Fitting the shocks is a bit fiddly and requires reusing the rear ball joints, plus using the spare mountings left over in the kit (final page of the instructions shows how to fit Tamiya's upgraded shocks and you can go from there).
Can second re: modelsport, they've been really good the couple of times I've used them

I also found a tip about fitting an elastic band to where the tyre bead seats on the wheel to stop them coming off (or supergluing the beads) - which has worked so far. The nephew ragged it around on Sunday with no issues

I appear to be up and running. It was a simple case of switching on the receiver and then switching on the controller... I'd read some long text about needing to set up the ESC, but it goes backwards and forwards no problem. :)
@DethBeard I am just getting back into all of this, but I bought the Lunchbox from Wonderland Models (wonderlandmodels.com) and in a search for suspension upgrades, modelsport.co.uk seems to be a good shop.
