Not only do the axles bend, I managed to make the front ones twist!!!! They are twisted about 40° from blade to the wheelaxle section.

There was a strange ratle in the car when I went on the throttle somewhat too much. Today I found what it was:
it is the plastic drive pulley deforming under the power of the motor, this makes the rear belt slip (I'm driving the white- tuning belts).

I needed to CA all the plastic parts of the camber links because of some reason the thread is onle the first 2 mm of these parts which makes it skip while cornering hard. I wasted 2 sets of tires on this before I found out.

At first I thought the car was looking great and had a quality feel. Now I think that this is a pretty low quality kit. The car handles well and the shocks are damn good though...
I think I'm gonna prepare my Yokomo BD again, what a waste of money...

So beware, dont drive this car in modified (FYI I drive a Novak 4.5 with sintered rotor on 6 cells)
I know the car is good so!
its not a low quality kit so!
Look to Markus Mobers!
He's damn fast with it!
and he's a 12th scale driver!

Greetings Ollie
