Nice build! i will borrow the tips learned from here

Thanks! That's why I post... "thumbsup"

Very clean build. One question though. How much flex is in the plastic CMS kit?

Thanks! The entire stock chassis is fairly flexy, as was the OG SCX10. The battery tray/servo mount assembly is very flexy on its own but gets some help from the chassis rails once installed. It didn't bother me during my initial runs with a ~270 oz-inch servo, but you may notice it if you are planning on running a high-powered servo (300 oz or stronger). We designed our one-piece battery tray and servo mount to be quite a bit stiffer than the stock multi-piece assembly for this reason (as well as to simplify the chassis assembly up front).

Stock SCX10 (I had too lots of chassis flex when I went CMS) and SCX10 II chassis are too flexy, great idea making the battery tray and servo mount one piece!

I put together a build review with some clips from yesterday's run:

Nice build. Love the rear mounting system. Are you using stock foam inserts on this? Tires barely deform. Looks great!

Thanks! Yes to the stock foams. I've been very pleasantly surprised with how well they work. "thumbsup"

Btw..did you decide which end you ended up lengthening? I totally agree that the wheelbase is too short for the body. Your adjustments align the wheelbase perfectly with the body!

Thanks! I lengthened the front after realizing that I couldn't push the body far enough back on the chassis and still get the stock front bumper to tuck in enough.

Any suggestions for Panhard Rod Ends. Mine, the ball keeps popping out, of course I am using a Hitec 7950th servo so that probably isn't help matters lol.

Yes...the 7950 will definitely find weak points. I've heard of some folks using Revo balls with the stock rod ends, though I haven't tried it. Another option would be to cut Jato rod ends down to the right length.

Thank you both for that information, exactly what I was looking for. Should, from the looks of it, definitely help with the issue I am experiencing.
