| What else needed for assembly (not the obvious)
I alread know what parts I am getting as far as radio servo etc. I am just wondering what all else I will need to put this contrapion together. I know I will need CA glue for the tires and the misc tools but is there anything else I will need like any specific conections or anything that you got half way through your build and had to run to the LHS? I am asking because I live 1 1/2hrs from the nearest LHS and I want to get everything in one trip. Thanks |

No you wont need CA their Bead Locks. Paint of your choice for the body. Lacquer thinner. Thats all I can think of right now. |

Only Stuff I've needed: Allen Keys Screwdrivers (Flathead and Phillips[sp?]) Zip Ties Paint and Scissors (for the body) Rags... Incase you make a mess with the Shock Oil Double Sided Tape (Dont remember if it came with this) Thats about it... Its pretty straight forward.. |

| Excellent endorsement. Anyway, I doubt I had more than 3 hours in to the assembly of the truck, up to the wheels and tires. They'll take some time, and there's a good chance you'll need to stop and take a breather to prevent getting a headache from the fumes.

Definitely stop everyone and awhile for breather breaks. I had a real bad headache for 3 days after I built the Scorpion... (I shoulda put the tires outside...)
