If that's true then by the logic posted earlier if you were to buy a Toyota Corolla and put the car together yourself then the Toyota would be a much higher quality car than say a car that comes assembled like we'll say a Ferrari? Xray's touring cars come with the aluminum bulkheads already screwed to the chassis but no one complains about that and their cars seem to do really well. OK...so the point of the car coming pre-built making the kit "lower quality" is out the window and doesn't mean anything. Worst case scenario is that you may need to top off the fluids in he car or re-bleed the shocks, loc-tite a few screws, or maybe hand fit a part if something is too tight. For the racer those are just common minor details that are dealt with all of the time but the pride or job well done that most people experience after fixing something, building something, etc.... is taken away and something the racer type group of people value more than the type of people that want stuff done for them or just want a toy to drive in front of the house. So that's my take on what may be the root/reason for people on here not liking the car coming pre-built.
