Just got done building my tc6.1wc. The quality/finish of the parts lessened the joy of building this car. The most troubling things for me:

1) the amount of slop in the front suspension between the hub carriers and arms
2) Shock body threads were so bad that one of the shock collars would not thread on without some deburring using a magnifying glass
3) Pistons would "stick" against the shock bodies depending on the piston position.
4) Some chassis countersunk holes were either not deep enough or the screw heads were too thick, causing the chassis to rock left and right on a completely flat surface.
5) Rear gear diff shims either caused the outdrives to bind or be loose.
6) The servo turnbuckle would every so slightly bind on top corner of the servo at about 70% right turn when using a low profile servo (s9550)


Does anybody know where I can find shims that can be used to take out the slop in the front hub carrier/arm?
