No throttle servo horn is Included, The builder is left to bend and cut the linkage (kyosho could have a little jig in the factory) also the radio plate that holds the receiver is made of cheese and i am another one who has snapped it even though i was aware it was weak from reading this forum. Also the spur gears are so close they actually foul and the one way drum has a lot of play although i have not tested if they foul at speed. Small things but on a kit of this money you expect more . I never liked the thought of an exposed receiver anyway so i fitted an nt1 radio box. I thought i would share this as it was easy to do and fits nice, just reverse the box wide side out and dremmel the 2 corners off the box top and thats it.
