you dont need needle nose pliers to install the yokes on traxxas driveshafts. The traxxas trucks comes with a silver tool to push on the yolk so you don't have to mess or weaken the plastic yokes. so smart Pro-Line Racing

I think this build is for entry level dragster racers who just want a drag car to race or practice with and get good steering before upgrading. I think what people miss when racing is practice. My cousin once told me dont even worry about upgrading the car till i can drive the track flawlessly.

If you are swapping out all the a arms, links and caster blocks for Bandit parts, why not just start with a Bandit and put the LCG Slash chassis on it? Or better yet, just use an STRC LCG kit that uses the stock Bandit chassis and is just like 8 screws to swap it over. You are doing three times more work than you need to here.
