Good looking champ
Very clean

Nice car!

What's that piece of carbon(?) On the front?

I made that myself so I wouldn't have to drill a hole for the front post. Just thought this looked much cleaner.

Looks good! Your carbon body mount is a great idea

Believe it or not, Associated offered the bushing for the slipper as an updated part. A bushing allows the slipper to operate better than a bearing.

No I didn't know that. So I should remove the slipper clutch bearing and re-install the original bushing?

Your call... the difference is probably negligible. Just know that Associated doesn't have a part number for a slipper bearing, only a bushing. Why wouldn't Associated offer a bearing and charge more? Two of just about any Associated packaged bearings are around $10. Here is a link on the topic:

Got the esc today no instructions of course....It has a set of red and black wires with tamaiya female connector and a set with bullett females which ones go to battery or motor?

Bullets to the motor

Thanks again gomachv! I got it all set up with Deans Connectors.
I have a set of springs and spacers for the dog bones. The springs are in the wheel and press against the dog bones but where exactly do these spacers go? I tried to put them in between the spring and dog bone but they fit too tightly in the wheel assembly end to allow the spring to push against the dog bone. What am I doing wrong?

I'd keep the bushing in the slipper set up .. Car looks great!!

They go in the trans side to keep the dogbone spaced out a bit. Make sure you don't already have some in there, they don't come out easily

I use a dental pick to remove those spacer's from the out drives, but they should be there

yep, the spacers are in there! I think this buggy is almost done....Waiting on the radio now.

Woot! Get r dun!
