Sounds good brother! I'll be keeping an eye out for your build. I haven't taken one part from the box yet. I'm still the parts ordering mode. I have alloy servo mounts on the way and have to order the servos and alloy cross members next. I'm also still toying with the idea of using all scale hex bolts where possible...not digging these phillips screws.

That's because they are not Philips, Tamiya use JIS hardware. Buy a $5 Tamiya screwdriver.

3mm screws use #74006
2mm screws use #74007

Or you can buy one of their little 8pc kits #74023

I have JIS screwdrivers, but I also have about 11 parts boxes full of hex head stainless screws which I used on this kit.
