looking good and bright lights! I have 2 sets of baja lights and they shine mighty bright also on a small 2cell lipo.
It looks like that drive cup is getting eaten away ;) I have put the hd cups on it and they still look like new but dont think my car ran as much as yours... Just ordered some rubber boots to cover all the cups coz most of the damage gets caused by dirt who starts acting as sandpaper so hope this will prevent this even more.

Concerning the shocks springs, i will order the softest springs then coz i want soft dampening :)
Those shafts extending to full length without the spring on them, that's simple. It means they're correctly filled, when you didn't fill them correctly the shaft won't extend to full length wich is not good, the shock should be sufficiently filled untill the shock shaft extends fully when you push it in and release it ;) So if you fill them put the cap on them, test it and refill if necessary, I guess they did a good job at the factory who filled them :)))


That esc looks good to, i ordered a hobbyking 150a esc, 60$ or something with a programming card so looking forward to test it all out but the car is only bits and parts for the moment....

When i get my arms and stuff finished i'll post it all on the forum but it will be something of a long breath coz it aint that simple to work it all out DIY style but will be fun if it works :)

now test those shocks and post some pics when they're mounted on your car ;)

cheerz!
