Just to be sure that you hear this from a 50+ year veteran (there's lots of us on HRW), don't put down your solder joints. It is clear that you got good flow (a bit longer heating up the material will sink the solder right in with lots of flux), and adhesion is sure thereby. Good choice for the body, too. Lots of candidates in that class are harder to cram a sidewinder into. As for tips, just keep the body mount screws loose, and put nylon washers between the wheels and the chassis on the axles. A little Tamiya coarse polishing compound will ease the gears smooth (of course, clean the grit out after you get smooth), and don't over-oil the motor. That's really all you need, you did everything else. Excellent work.
