Help with Stampede Assembly

[skellyo]

I received my FLM stampede ext chassis kit today and I've been working on putting it together, but have a couple of questions for those that have already done this.

What length front turnbuckles will I need with the new arms (they're the regular length, but still longer than stock)?

What is the center screw hole in the rear of the front bulkhead for? I can't find anything that bolts to it.

What are these things? http://onelouds10.com/flm_what.jpg They look like they bolt onto the rear A-Arms, correct? If so, do they go on the top or bottom?

Also, what shocks would y'all recommend for this? I've read that a lot of people use the Duratrax Evader shocks, but I want to see if anyone has experience with something else.

And last but not least...I have got to get a CNC tranny case ordered. This plastic case looks completely out of place on this kit.

Thanks,
Sean
