I would imagine that the build details come with my kit on delivery, does anyone know if its possible to get copies now to have a bit of a geek up and look for problems I may encounter and try preempt them, also look at bolt finishes and numbers required?and any other points I may find
Or shall I just phone RTR?
Cheers, Paul

Cancel that, found it in tech. Is that the complete build book? 60 pages?

Just like the kit, the buildguide is not a complete boxed set. The build guide is exactly that, a guide. It allows all of us builders to apply our own touch and imagination. I found the guide gave me 80% of what I needed (Engine goes in the back, wheels on each corner...), the other 20% (and clarification of the 80%) was via this forum.
Once you get into it, the buildguide and this forum (including everyone's build diaries) provides everything you need.
Happy building.

I agree with avantkiwi... the build guides need to be used + this forum + some research (google!) + lashings of head scratching!  Personally, I quite enjoyed the challenge - if I wanted a simple bolt together no thought required 'Meccano' set, well, I would have looked elsewhere! Happy head scratching! Ol |

Oh, I totally agree, I have done a lot of project stuff in the past, and sorted, modified and manufactured a lot of stuff after staring at it with a cup of tea in one hand and a pair of verniers in the other.
Like I said, I just wasn't sure what to expect, I can't wait, especially now I also have the supercharger conundrum with space issue.lol

The first rule to tackling any mind bending problem is to first, make a brew - then sit back and weigh up the job!!
