I havent tried the kit,but am building the same thing.
I like how the kit is plug n play vrs mine will have to be cut and soldered.
Plus shape 2 teeth in the ring gear.
My slip ring only cost $15 usd

Yes. Make sure you secure both ends of the slip ring otherwise it'll get wrapped around stuff in the lower hull. I've used the DingDing kit & recently fitted a Taigen turret, both have nearly snapped wires getting wrapped around the control board.

Cable ties, tape etc. The slip ring can be quite stiff so rather than swivel the bundle of wires twists a few times, invariably around the control board! The Taigen rotation gears have a socket for the slip ring.
