Axles not fitting perfectly like they should. I had to drill larger holes in plastic, etc etc.

Not something i am used to !!

Just my 2 cents.

You are not alone.
I just finished my son's 966, the first ever Serpent in my household.

As a long time Mugen driver I was totally shocked by the amount of work, it took to get this car together.

- Front sway bar did not slide together, had to be ground to fit
- Front arm hingepins did not go through without reaming
- Pressure bearing in clutch missing
- Steel rolls in 2-speed missing
- 1 wrong rear upright (OS1 instead of OS2)

I am sure I missed some stuff.

I hope the car will run better than it went together.
