The plastic is worthless. More than half of the screws won't even snug down. They just spin and spin and spin. The set screws that retain the inner front hinge pins nearly went completely through the pivot block because there was never any resistance, and I just happened to stop and think, "this thing should have bottomed out by now." I tuned the chassis over to find part of the set screw beginning to protrude out the bottom. The front shock tower mounting screws won't snug up for crap, and the screws that retain the spindle and carrier to the A arm are barely snug.

I hope it gets better from here on out. I'm about to toss this thing aside with all my other retired vehicles before it's fully built. I wouldn't even feel right selling such a turd to someone, and I really feel for the less experienced people who buy and build this thing.

I hope bag B goes MUCH better than this first one.
I have been racing/building cars for 3 yrs....illustrations are pretty self-explanatory on a 2wd buggy.....haha!

F N CUDA: I totally agree man...
