Lee It do's not tell you in the instructions, to glue the fence's on to the front spool. I did not on my mi5 and one of them came off and broke £13.50 to get a new one as you have to buy the two fence's and pulley. Also If a screw go's into a alloy part put a little blue loctite on the thread
(the red may be a little strong) Just a word to the wise

Nice one, you'll be impressed....only thing I've changed, is an additional 1mm washer under the rear inner camber link and just used one ally screw on the front, not 2. Have fun.... :-)

James. Do you mean 2 ally screws up front not 4, and where did you put them F/F or F/R?.

The first meet went ok. Heat one had issue with speed controller coming detached. Heat 2 the rear body posts worked loose. Heat 3 came second. Heat 4 pinion came loose. Final I finished 8th. But I can see the potential.
