Next to nothing fit properly. Everything binds. I really liked the concept of the car, but I perceive it as being literally un-runnable with all of the flaws. It is so bad, I don't even feel as if I could re-sell it in good conscious.

Now understand something gentlemen, I know how to build a car. So far this year I've build this piece of work as well as the xray 2014 and the vbc wildfire d06. The latter two vehicles practically built themselves. I understand that I could painstakingly go through the H4e and file this, dremel that, do whatever to get it functional. Doing so would take quite some time. None, and I do mean non of the turnbuckles fail to bind. Not a mild bind; a bind that I would describe as severe. Same with the arms on the hinge pins, same with the whole steering assembly. My gear diff, and I pride myself on building gear diffs leaked completely and immediately. The tolerances on this car are tight across the board.

I honestly feel like I have a car that as previously mentioned, is un-runnable as well as unsellable. I am very frustrated with this purchase. That being said, I have a proposal because I really do like the little details in this car. I would like to send the car back to Nitrohouse where I bought it from and have a sponsored driver on the Hobao/Ofna team rebuild it for me. I will pay the shipping both ways. Really, I would be doing whichever driver took on the challenge a favor. After all, everybody enjoys a good build. Send it back to me in functional condition and I will eat crow. I will amend this statement. Really though, I would really love to run this car. This is my way of asking for help. Mr. Bump. What do you think?

I do not believe in taking money away from the rc companies that I like and the hobby that I love. I pointed out what I did because in my case it was the truth. Out of curiosity, did anybody one else feel this was a terrible build? I truly hope to stand alone on this.

So please send the car to us Atten DJ that is me and I will look over the car and see what has gone wrong and fix the leak issue. We did have a leak issue before we sold the cars to the market but we made sure to have better o-rings for the kit to release so we took all the first kits we got which were only 20 and held them till we had the updated parts then sold to the public so we will be looking to what you have, again sorry on a difficult build we would like to make this right so you can enjoy your ride.
