Not a single issue. The other manufacturer I think you're referring to didn't design their wingmount correctly and it caused an issue with the rear bulkhead/shocktower screws.

When do you guys expect your new buggy to be out? And also what is the average hour needed to build the buggy?

It only depends from you and your manual ability. My first kit takes apr. 7 hour.

personally with a brand new kit, I try to spread the build out over a couple of days. Things that take fluids etc I may build on the first day, then do the rest of the chassis assembly the next. I think I do it this way as someone told me when I built my first kit that it was a good way to see if you have any slow leaks, etc.

Not me , that sucker will be built and on the track within an hour ! I cant stand to have a new toy and not be able to play !

BTW I have been known to take my cars too the local Supermarket parking lot late at night for some testing after I put on a new part or build a new kit .

I recently put my first buggy together (an RB5 SP2), and did it across many evenings for a total of about 9-10 hours (I'm a perfectionist at part clean up and assembly). I recently took every part off of my SCTE and cleaned it, then put it back together as well, and that assembly process only took a few hours. I expect that with this being my third kit, I'll do it in about 4ish hours while documenting what I'm doing. If that is all in one evening, or if it is spread out over evenings, will in large part depend on which day it arrives, since I only get weekends to go run at the track anyway. As I believe I was one of the early pre-orders, expect to see me posting build pictures and comments someplace to help folks out who may get it after me.

Tekno, I preordered through RPP will they be receiving kits early in the release phase?
Thanks!
