Man i got the awd kit before the suspension and man was that a bad idea my car is all scratched up on the bottom but i got three people to buy one and they were all my neighbors just watchin me play in the front of my house

I wouldn't plan on running any of the cars outside with the body kits on them. I've got my outside (tennis court) car set up with all the performance upgrades and no body kit, and then I'll have an indoor car set up.

I'm in the process of trying out different spring, tie rod, tire combinations for the courts, and then I will just stick with that.

awd actually makes it more fun to drift, it's a lot easier to do consistent and controlled slides - like wrc cars - especially with "drift tape" on your wheels.

I don't even touch pavement with mine. I'll go on smooth concrete if it's been swept but otherwise it's indoor for me. The cars take enough of a beating from collisions with barriers and other racers.

the kit is a pain to install it took me a total of about three and a half hours to install mine and i got very fusturated

Well it looks like my car will be taking a beating when I get my RSX. I guess I could just put some tape on the car or something so the car wont get badly sratched.

If it took you 3 and a 1/2 hours long to do what took me 15 min. there has to be something wrong there.

yeah i know...the front swing arms where the hardest...i thought you had to unscrew the one that casn't be unscrewed...the screw on the top of the knuckle...that was a pain...i need a new screwdriver after this mod...it just stripped it...i hope i dont need to take the front apart again..getting everything stable and still is hard enough..screwing them in is a whole nother story..

then the back was hard too...like when you had to put back the battery packs and stuff...it took me about 1 hour just to screw the right side in...the onther side when in easly for some reason...and then swing arms..i put the shaft and everything the wrong way and the things aren't even threaded!!so i had to take apart the whole back just to put the diff on the right side (left side actually)...yeah..but now i got every thing going good...all i need is batteries...and ill be drift king! woot woot..can't wait...
