Well duh! I have to have one to see it up close and see how much fits. Plus I'm committed to making shock towers which should be easy cause they are already the same shape as ours from 2014

Gear boxes assembled, the diffs need to be shimmed. They are included in a bag with a QR code that brings you to a YouTube video to supplement the instructions.

It's interesting that the rear supports are different material than the rear bulkhead. The build looks good!

Poor design on battery hold downs, well not the design but the fitment with the body. The body bottoms out on the hold down keeping the body from lowering to where it should be which exposes the gold tub from the side.

What is the function of the brackets coming off of the rear bulkhead and going towards the battery mount?

Thanks limestang

LOL, those bulkhead mounts....... Waiting for an optional AE version of the factory works chassis braces also. I think that would be the final straw.......

Nice, I usually don't buy a second of the same kit but I might have to for this one.

I don't either, but I have some ideas to modify one of them for a more retro look. Will see if it works or not.
