Should be alright like you say.
The build thing is a lot more involved than just building it i'm afraid.
I have mi laptop, scales and calipers at hand, not to mention 2 cameras, a tripod, etc etc.. I think with the ZX5 review, mi first, I built the car, big chunk at a time, then wrote from memory.. where the others have all been at the time, with the laptop next to me, so its a lot slower. The ZX5 was started, raced, and published in about 2 days.
Maybe I can try it the ZX5 way again and just take photos as Im building it.
