Default What is your least favorite part of a build?

What part of a crawler or scale rig build do you hate the most? I'd have to say mounting the bodies for me, probably just because I suck at it though

Tires and wheels...
Doesn't matter if I have to glue them or beadlocks... it still sucks and takes up too much time!

Building shocks...PIA, trying to bleed the air out Mounting bodies is also a PIA...I now mount it before I paint it and put sharpee marker marks on it then use my body reamer then

o and how about the steal traxxas yokes..those suck too

Figuring how I'm going to run my wheels. BB's , Auto weights , Foams , No foams, Cut foams.

When I race my nitro's I absolutely HATE building , rebuilding , and maintenance of diffs .

Getting the right gear mesh blows also.

tuning and testing it... That is the most tedious part of the build to me.. try it, redo it, try it, redo it

Waiting for it to be finished. Some projects will drag on for months, other a couple weeks or less. When they do drag on, you start to get sick of looking at it.
