Not sure if HPI has addressed this yet, but I'm waiting out for a revision or an SS.
i bought one on the basis i would learn from the problems. and i did! i'm contacting HPI regarding the driveshaft (its made to come out of the car without dismantling, so it slips out of the front/rear diff (depending on the arrangement). i've had it since saturday, and i'm proud to say that i havn't broken it . i also set it into drift configuration (oversteer) to counteract the understeer of front wheel drive when the driveshaft slips out of mesh. an SS kit would be nice
