I finally started my build. It seems they addressed the rear suspension binding issue with this release. Here are the extras I'm putting on this build

1. Dwayne's HG towers
2. HG shocks
3. Universals
4. Futaba BLS451 servo
5. Novak Havoc Pro SCX ESC
6. Novak Ballistic 17.5 motor

She should be very track ready.. now all I would need is a track ;)

What changes did they make specifically to fix the binding?

i take it back and instead will say I discovered my own error when I built the re-re scorpion. The two suspension shaft holders have a tapered end. The correct way to install them is: install the taller one with taper side up and the shorter one taper side down. Its clearly shown in the manual but I overlooked it.

I'm did however discover that I'm missing one 1.5 mm aluminium spacer that goes under the rear radio post (SC247A) and one flange aluminium spacer for top deck SC247D.

Couple of other notes.. Open the diff and put some fluid in it.. They only put a dab of anti wear grease on it.

Only other concern I have is that the slipper gear and counter gear appear to be tight in mesh.. Not sure how I would go about adjusting that..

If you buy the HG shocks, you won't be able to blame it on crappy handling anymore.. Those dampers make a world of difference.

G'day all, I'm a new member and wanted to throw a few pics up of my new build, a Tomahawk rere. It's still under construction and I'm waiting on paint for the body. I picked up some upgrades and started to build it original, but have started to include the upgrades in the build after I wasn't that excited about the standard shocks. I'd be interested on people's thoughts regarding differential options and also what seems to be the best shock oil weight for the HG shocks I've added? I'm impressed with what I've seen on this thread.
