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 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.
