Ok, here is my Re-Re build up.

Steering and front nose added onto the chassis. I am not liking the steering set-up so that will be swapped out soon.



Front shock tower added...



Pictures of the rear bulkhead...






And the green/translucent ball cups...They do help being this way though when you thread the threaded rod end in. You can see how far they are so you can get them even...


Shocks all built up...Some anodizing issues on top of one of the caps and inside one of the fronts.



Shocks mounted and the front nose braces mounted up...Need to order the bumper for the front that looks like a taco...

And the rear arms mounted up. No issues with these.



All that is left to build is the transmission, rear end spindles and axles, and the wheels. Need my bearings to show up so I can proceed further...

So far it has been fun and the manual has been vague in spots on what parts are need when. a lot of parts over all. I don't remember having to mess with so many parts on my rebuild of an old RC10. I am so glad I opened it to build it up.

I guess that answers my question about the arms stopping on the chassis like the original kits! They do not and rely on the shock spacers. No big deal, the original stops wore down super quick anyway

I'm going to email Team CRP and ask if they would consider selling their front bumper again. They still sell one drilled for the 10T and Losi bulkheads.

That would be great Steve!

That would be an A-Main bumper....the taco looking one.

I think what gives the ball cups that glow in the dark green appearance is just because the plastic is semi translucent but once you thread the rod in and install it on the car it really isn't green tint seems to not be apparent.

Just notice now,are the towers only have one hole on the first release?as compared to the later release? Hmm..thats why the shock palcing is a bit odd..

Looks good...You must have gotten a Tuesday thru Thursday kit because your not having issues with yours...I can't believe the glow in the dark ball cups

Those rear shocks are not right. Maybe forgot the internal spacer? Way too much shock shaft showing.

Nope, the directions called for two spacers per rear shock. I pretty sure I installed them per the instructions...

Maybe they put the incorrect size and qty of spacers in the kit? p/n 6466 has an assortment of shock down stops. I think using a 1.32" shaft with a 1.32" shock body requires 3 of the black spacers per shaft. Looks like they used the short ones in the kit.

Unless it's a design change.

The ones in the kit were really thin and it asked for two per.

If you look in the picture where I have all the shocks laid out above, the black washer looking things were what it call for in the directions and were the only thing left over. I double check the part number in the directions too.

Well that's gonna be a problem, they need to fix that. You'll want to go back and get three of those in there or a 5/8 spacer of some sort. Original was fuel tubing. Without it, you'll lose and chew up dogbones

Yeah definitely. You need 3/8" to 5/8" easily. Otherwise your gonna have a bad time
