My biggest issue is securing the entire rear end to the chassis. The aluminum toe plates do not line up with the cut outs in the chassis and the rear will not drop in or force in. It's pretty far off. I know this kind of thing is normal with new cars so I'm not angry just wanted to know if anyone else was having any similar or other issues. The buggy is still super hot and I can't wait to finnish.
Sorry to hear about your issues. I got mine on Monday and the build went very very smoothe. I had it built in maybe 4hrs the rear end was a little tight but maybe you tightened the hinge pin holder screws a little too much. I just need to solder the electronics now and woo hoo it will be ready. Im in no hurry because I cant race this weekend due to my mothers b-day. I dont know why she cant postpone that for a week LOL.
