thanks Edou.
i received the aluminium bars for the hornet suspension today. they are slightly thicker than 4mm, 4.2 mm to be precise so i will see if they fit ok, if so pm me your address and i will get one in the mail to you.
and Jonny, my bits came today as well thankyou SO much
my RX also came today so all i need now is to sort the motor out and it should be up and running.
