Ugh, Turnbuckles… My least favorite part of the build. TLR’s new HD rod ends fit tightly onto the thick tie-rods, luckily I have their optional turnbuckle wrench TLR99102 to make things easier.

Here the turnbuckles are installed and the front tower is on with the included quick change upper shock posts.

Now we get to see some SC defining parts. The 4-piece front bumper looks cool and fits together perfectly.

RC Driver Magazine Editor-in-Chief: My radio control hobby started in 1985 with a Tamiya Falcon. The first time I drove the buggy I finished 3rd in the A-Main out of forty-eight drivers; needless to say I was hooked. From then on I competed in a lot of races in many different segments. At sixteen I started my first job at a Hobbytown USA and at seventeen started as a contributing writer for an RC publication. A few years later, I started full-time as a magazine editor while attending college for graphic design. Little did I know down the road I'd be offered a chance to start up a new RC magazine. I jumped at the opportunity and with a talented group of professionals launched RC Driver Magazine. Throughout the years I never lost my passion for RC and spreading the word about this wonderful hobby. I hope you enjoy our magazine and website!
