no I haven't talked to the seller but I told Anne at soar and she said she would check with didian and send some stuff out to me but haven't got that confirmed yet but let's see what happens .

On my personal buggy I didn't have this issue. But I also never crank down on those screws. When I build all my kits even with other brands I use longer screws. I use blue loctite screw them all the way into the metal post and then back out 1 turn. Allows everything freedom to move.

I am finishing my buggy. The only problem that I am having is the break plastic parts are thin and pull through when I use them. I replaced them with an XRAY 808 throttle and break parts.

Default soar 998

I finally had the chance to run my 998 yesterday it was a beautiful thang !!! The car jumps great , lands even better ! Very easy to drive ,
Carrys a ton of corner speed , steering is good and easy ,
Now for the bad , The shocks seem to lose their bounce ,seem to go flat quick , I broke a front arm which was my fault . Overall its Bad buggy cant wait tell they start sellin it here !!!

awsome dude , yeah id suggest asking the seller if he can hook you up with the update parts ie lower F & R arms and streering plastics.. look at one of photos of my car and you ll see all the parts in the update bag.. other wise yeah its a easy car to drive and the longer shock shafts in the kit are a great plus to get even more out of it.. lands plush/like a cushion.. matter of the right set up for the track.. and your flying!

I have a problem with my fuel tank. The ball at then end does not move freely. I might have a new tank or is there a way to fix it.
