here is the photos of my car

the build was good few bits I'm not sure of like the thread on the shock shafts being minimal and the nut might un-wind and moulded pistons.
on the photo of the screws shows the only issues I had with the build

1 rear shock tower to shock screw was 3mm to short

and 1 front top link ball stud was 15.25 and should of been 17.5 I think

quick call to tony at serpent and they was in the post the same day!!

also bought a set of machined pistons


anyone wanting to build this car will need a 4.5mm nut driver witch was kinda frustrating

ive not had my lipos yet so the battery wires are long but apart from that its good to go

I was marshalling a 4wd heat today at TORCH which contained an SX4 and I have to say from where I was it looked awesome.

The direction change and the way it stayed locked in through fast sweeping corners appeared to be very, very good.

This could be the car to tempt me back to 4wd!

The 12 hours of arendonk the car behaved well

There was a lot of grip available. Little too much but manageable.

Only seemed to frontarms was made of glass We have six broken. Two right and four left

So we dropped out at 11 o'clock (no A-arms more)
