While attempting to assemble my Trex I quickly discovered I lacked the experience of assembly to get things 100% the first time. Not wanting to threadlock/cyno glue everything only to disassemble it to get it right I found the following steps to really help me get things right before locking things down.
1. Watch Bob's (Finless) assembly video's.
2. Watch Bob's (Finless) assembly video's ( listed twice..it's actually that important).
3. Refer to the written directions often while watching the videos and during test assembly.
4. Test assemble the parts as an entire unit BEFORE using cyno or threadlock. I found several instances where I had things backwards, upside down, or missing.
Once I did these things I found watching the Video's again AFTER the test assembly helped me be prepared to do final assembly. One of the reasons I had issues was because Align had pre-assembled more parts than expected.
I hope this helps someone. The steps definately take alot more time to complete but it helped me ensure it was right before things were locked down.
A bit of T-Rex measure twice, cut once, type of thing.
