Well there are two ways of building RC Cras.

1) follow the manual

2) Built it properly with the help of a Pro driver ;)

Well what do you need to know??

Follow the manual is the best advice I can give.
Also a set of imperial allen drivers really aid in assembly.

Here's a good guide for building the shocks:

Here's where to add the weight to the car for the 'pro' standard set-up.

There's nothing really special about building the car read the manual and follow it. Like for the diff compress the spring as per the manual, and tighten just until the spring compresses and back off as stated!

The other thing to be careful of is assembly of the gear box. Don't over tighten the screws to the motor plate. I always thread lock them in place and just tight enough to keep the two halves of the gearbox sealed.

One last thing. In general the car is held together with 4-40 screws. But certain parts are assembled with the larger 5-40 screws. So be aware of the difference.

(Pre-tap the screw holes in all the plastic parts is a good idea in building any kit.)

Anything else just ask.
