Jeff- Thats good to here. I don't think I'll have trouble with the assembly. I'm having a lot of run with it the way it is. With that said, It does roll over entirely too much on the street. It has an excellent turning radius and just flips right over at almost anything about 8mph... It might be because of the XTT tires are pretty grippy on the concrete. Hopefully the G4 will cure this problem.
I'm running this servo:

I must say, it's blowing my expectations away! Very strong and pretty quick. No problems turning the tires. I'm only using a single servo. For some reason, they don't like being used in a y-harness for the double servo setup, or on the stock traxxas rx. They fight and glitch like crazy, but a single servo is great!

The G4 handles alot like a truggy imo. i used extra heavy dual rate springs because of the amount of aluminum i was using, but i can't flip it on concrete even with soft crimefighters. it just has a great center of gravity in it's design. even when i have the suspension jacked up, it'll slide it's ass end out, but it woun't flip.
i built an FLM-Maxx last year, and i hated how much that truck rolled all the time even when it was slammed. the G4 is just so easy to make handle well.
it's probably my favorite truck.
one other thing. don't be shocked at the size of the package from GorillaMaxx. it ships in a well protected flat envelope that fits in most mailboxes.

it's very compact.
make sure you post pics of your build when you're done.
