Not really problems per se but things you might want to know if you don't already.
Don't bother with the saddle pack setup, most motors won't fit
Get the Exotek spur gear and never worry about it again.
The kit uses metric hardware except for the small screws in the diff and the plates on the arms. Just make sure you have a .050 hex driver.
Get the aluminum shock caps, the stock ones work but the aluminum caps are a more traditional style.
Pay attention to the front and rear diffs. The first time I put mine together the front went forwards and the rear went backwards. Lol
That's the issues I experienced. Like I said, not really problems just a few things to keep in mind. It's a great buggy, really happy with it.
