A word of advice... Get an aluminium center driveshaft. The plastic one is like a wet noodle...

And I suggest you get oil filled dampers. If I'm not mistaken, this one comes with friction dampers. Apart form that, it's a pretty good car.

thanks for the tip iamahuman, i have ordered the shaft from adventure wheels yesterday
this is Type E, so it has the oil dampers

any idea was the tamiya cement, and is it mandatory?

Seems to be some kind of adhesive. Never heard of it being used though...

Quick question about painting - any tutorial videos? any local alternative to Tamiya spray paints?

Any polycrbonte paint will do.
Watch painting tutorials by ultimatercnetwork on YouTube :)

By local, you mean India? I think Adventurewheels has Tamiya.
As for alternatives, Bosny is supposed to work. Never tried it myself, though.

Thanks guys for the tips
I got a Bosny can from a local paint shop and tried it on. This is the first time for me, so results are mediocre

the bosny paint is a regular acrylic spray paint, it sticks better to plastic metal and lexan than most other paint. but it cracks on lexan under heavy flexing.
