Pretty good

Besides the servo not having much power I worked with my team to make a better one and came in 2nd in an event
It works pretty good

The lifter link slides to the side and messes up the flipping. We had to hot glue it. We went to a competition and got third place with it
Love this thing

Simple & powerful kit

Very impressive kit.
Simple to install, strong, appears solid (based on garage skirmishes with other lifters, not full-on battle with spinners), adds self-righting capability.

After building 3 kits, I have the following comments/recommendations:
1 - Use servo L-bracket holes 1 & 4, not 2 & 5.
2 - When attaching the Viper top armor, slide the armor left/right so that the arm screw does not contact the top armor, then torque the armor screws.
3 - Add washers to the lift arm/small nut strip joints to minimize the chance that these screws will back out or tighten when operating the arm.
4 - Add a nut to the servo arm/lift arm joint & torque it to the servo arm to minimize the chance that this screw will back out or tighten when operating the arm.
5- Set Tx channel 3 endpoints to 120% or the arm will not move far enough upward to self-right. [Already done if Tx purchased from FingerTech]
6 - Do not mount a power indicator LED on the back wall of the Viper. It will stick out just barely enough to drag on the ground & hamper self-righting when the bot's nose is pointing straight up.
