T-Rex 500 build

[Dave-D]

Should be getting my T-Rex 500 delivered tomorrow. Apart from screwdrivers etc can someone list what you need for the build . Do i need oil ? Is loctite is included in the kit ? Is Acetone ok to remove oil from screws etc.

loctite is included in the CF version kit.

no oil needed

Thanks will register and follow vids. Is glue needed when screwing into plastic parts. If so any particular type.

A medium thickness cyano acrylate (CA) glue such as zap-a-gap works fine and doesn't go off too quickly (the thinner it is, the faster it goes off!)

Use blue threadlock on metal to metal parts (bolts into metal housings etc), and CA glue on metal into plastic parts.
