	No universal drive shafts but aluminum T6-7075 drive shafts as standard. Lightweight universals are as option available.
	The center differential and center drive shafts placed. Do not forget to put some EUREKA PRO on the heads of the drive shafts.
	The large receiver box as standard with foam inlays which have a tape to secure them.
	A blind plate or one for a switch comes with he kit. We advise you never to use the switches that come with radio kits. These are nice for electric RTR cars but not for these types of cars who have much resonation going through it. A fixed connector type is advisable.
	Unfortunenatly the radio box has the same flaw we already reported from the previous X1 versions. We still have that cable hole that is placed at a position where it is not so easy to remove any of the cables when that radio tray is fully assembled.
	Kit comes with universal servo arms.
	The antenna tube is clamped by a CNC machined T6-7075 nut. We would have liked to have the cover of the receiver side to be higher so the servo cables can be placed with out force.
	The steering also has a steel turn buckle. We mount it so when turned to the center of the car it becomes shorter. Jammin cars have the Lunsford titanium version turnbuckle.
	The 3 mm carbon radio plate. Use the cyano acrylic glue trick here too.
	That not every servo is the same we can see in this picture. The SAVOX servos we are going to test and review are clearly lower in height.
	Use the bushing that comes with the servo (if it uses a 3 mm inside hole) and fit it from down upwards in the rubber. Not using rubbers will send more vibrations to the servo and can reduce the lifespan of the servo.
	Servos and personal transponder placed. For this review we will be using the SAVOX SC-1256 for throttle and the SAVOX SC-1257 for the steering.
	Pull the servo and PT cable through the hole of the radio box.
	Make sure the steering servo cable is running like the picture shows. If not it can touch the center main gear.
	The servo arm and steering rod placed.
	Fit the battery and receiver and connect the cables as described in the user manual of your radio equipment.
	The small clips to secure the radio box covers we bend so they can be removed more easily.
	The radio box fitted to the chassis.
