  1. Hi. I'm building my first hobby-grade RC car, Tamiya's VW Beetle 'rally' car on the MF-01X platform. I like to watch videos about the products I'm considering, and I did for this model, and when putting together my plan, I included upgrades for the bearings and for the shocks. I got the appropriate Fast Eddy bearing set, and I bought 2 sets of the Tamiya oil filled shock kit (CVA supermini). I'm enjoying the build - I have the chassis complete as well as most of the drivetrain. I built my first pair of oil shocks and I've assembled the rear suspension, and it looks wrong. One side is significantly lower than the other. It looks to me like the upper control arm provides a limit on one side of the chassis but not the other. I know I probably need to disassemble it all and just put it back together deliberately and carefully, but I was hoping someone with more familiarity with these builds might be able to spot my mistake. I'm also curious if these shocks are adequately attached; part of the challenge with the hop-up parts is having to understand what the finished result should be when going off-book. I could use anyone's insights. Thanks.
