Thanks for yet another friendly response. Yes, both Martin and I ordered from Modelsport UK. I couldn't resist doing at least SOMETHING to it last night, so once the wife was asleep I was straight out to the workshop! I was quite surprised at how small the car is - smaller than I remember but then I was considerably smaller the last time I saw one too! I reached the point where the rear shocks are fitted and you start work on the servo saver.
It has been an interesting build, as I'm a model aircraft chap and haven't built a car like this before. It's bliss and luxury just bolting stuff together instead of all the sanding and gluing I'm used to!
Jonathan, I meant to ask you: I think the most fun place to run an off-road RC car is at a BMX track. Do you have a BMX track near you?
