TC6 quality

First, The car handles great and has an uber amount of traction.
Definitely will use the car but for the novice building this kit could be a pain.

this is the third TC6 I've built since the release, love the blue
each has had a few minor flaws.

car #1
-one screw in bulk head tapped incorrectly. (believe this problem is fixed from production)
+ diff locknut very weak (replace w B4 version)

car #2
-motor mount screw alignment inaccurate. (still existing issue) but very easily fixed...does not cause issue with tweak...bought a new motor mount brace.
-CVD issue with pin alignment-PITA - replaced with a new one
+ diff locknut very weak (replace w B4 version)

car #3-
-almost all screws were manufactured incorrectly, cannot use any of my wrenches they just won't go in.
-CVD issue with pin alignment-PITA - replaced with a new one
+ diff locknut very weak (replace w B4 version)

Is anyone at Associated even concerned with these issues. this makes for a disappointing build process.


I noticed the latest batch has a manual check list for parts from the factory but i don't think the major prob was parts in the box. It's the quality of parts in the box.

side note: anyone notice the Hard Chubs are so brittle if you breath on them they break. I broke both sides at the same time....that was a first.
