More like repairs not a build

Bought a 6s V5 notorious before Xmas as my big gift around November time frame. I was super geeked because I haven't run RC for 12 - 15 years and my boys are 5 and 2. FIRST DAY let my 5 year old take the remote at 50% on a football field and manages to smash the only set of bleachers going full throttle. Replaced the front A-arms with RPM. After that the steering never felt quite right and I thought the stock servo mount and servo needed to be changed so I replaced it with a Savox 1212 and Hot Racing servo mount. Steering still wasn't responsive so I bought the Hot racing steering saver and played around with the servo arm. Then came the homemade ramp destroyed the front bumper and rear diff. Threw on an RPM bumper, modified the body mounts to the proline screw on ones, fabricated some mud guards, and shimmed and reassembled all 3 diffs (60k / 200k / 30k fluid). Where I'm at now is just fixed everything up and took it out on a cold day and broke the wheel assembly of the wheelie bar and No one seems to have it in stock so I repaired it the best I could! Sorry for rambling not much of a build more of a break it and let's see how I can fix it

Nice, clan work with the drywall tape and sho goo.

I have done about 8 bodies this winter and you an I clearly share a similar level of OCD!!

Not sure if the RPM arms are compatible with the V5 models, maybe it's binding your steering? Also check how tight your pillow ball retainer nuts are on the hubs, found mine were a bit too tight and affected my steering

Built a rear bumper today then got worried it would snap so reinforced it through the shock towers! It held up to some long wheelies and double back flips. Love building replacement parts as opposed to buying them
