It's continuing to come together!
This part of the build requires these bags.
Step F1 uses these pre-built shocks.
The only thing you need to assemble in this step is the oil nozzle for the shock oil bottle.

RED ALERT!One of the output drives is defective with the slots cut at an angle instead of straight up and down. This caused the driveshaft to bind.
Called up Traxxas.
me - "Hey, um... I just bought a TRX4 Sport kit, and one of the parts is defective."
Traxxas - "what part is it, and what's the part number?"
me - "It's the output drive that you can find in part# 8295"
Traxxas - "what's your name and address?"
me - "My name is #####, and my address is #####..."
Traxxas - "ok we'll send one out to you right away"
me - "That's it?"
Traxxas - "That's it!"
Few days later this showed up in the mailbox. Back in business!
