Regarding the shock towers, when you turn them around then the screw head is toward the front of the truck where there is no hole in the fender to access. They screwed up there for sure. I take the towers off with the shock attached in order to access the screw to remove to shocks.
With the shock towers opposite of what my manual says the allan bolt that holds the shocks on are accessed to the rear where the hole is for it. Maybe they updated the manual since I made this video which was a while before I accually posted it.🤔
@@upgradedrc3697 I just got a phoenix. I would think they would have fixed this or maybe I got a first run. But the manual is wrong. You can still access the shock mount whether its correct or backwards. But you wont be able to install body posts if it is installed how it shown in the manual.
Love the vids,matter of fact this is my first build and I'm watching as I build it,so you are still correct in the shock mount positions correct?all facing in?I love the way you made this,I also followed you with the axial scx III gladiator,I love mine thanks for that to.
@@upgradedrc3697 ok. Got it. My diffs move nicely in one direction. In the opposite direction they don't sound or move so smooth. Firs I added one of the included shims and then other, same results or even worse. Ended up removing both shims. Problem persists.

Thank you for the video.
Awesome bro!!
Nice vid, the orientation of the front bodypost in the manual is correct, because in this way you can remove the shocks while the fenders are mounted.

Hi friend. Once tha diffs are assembled should they move freely in both directions when turning through the hubs?
Yes

It will drag a little bit in the Reverse direction, but not much,
