The Build – Part 9
The shock and roll damper are the 2 major handling components of the F104X1. Take your time building these as they can drastically affect your car’s performance.

Build Notes:
To make the build process easier, prep all the plastic parts before starting to build your shock. Trying to find a place for an oil-filled shock with no lid can sometimes prove quite difficult.
Shock building can be messy. Have some paper towels available for clean up.
