Thanks! So far, I’m really liking how parts are fitting to each other. Didn’t even need to shim or ream the front A arms. The pins and arms fit in perfectly.

You’re not the only one I spent the same amount of time looking, yelling, cursing until I stared at that page for three minutes and realized what I was looking for and found it immediately.

Oh it matches the part... if you rotate the part and look at it from the top down with only one eye open...

That is the chassis I went with after I snapped the stock chassis in half. Great upgrade.

Just a quick update - more parts showed up except for the ones I need to continue with the build lol. Anyway, we’ve got a Phatdad 1° anti squat brace, Phatdad carving blocks, Vertigo diff locker and a Power HD WH-65KG servo.

Watch those phatdad anti squat, seen many bust where the bushing goes in. Nice parts list so far, definitely curious to see the end result.

Well, I’m certainly not ever going to drive it like Kevin Talbot, so I’m not too worried

It wasn't him lol. I don't watch his videos, even Doug on here has snapped them.

I can always use the factory brace and use the angled hub adapters.

Another part showed up today. Too bad it’s not the parts that I need to move forward with the build lol.
