Received mine and what a pile of poo!
In this day and age there is no excuse for such bad construction in the factory...
1 - Interior not even heat welded into place, so just fell out. (Did it myself with a heated screwdriver in a couple on minutes)
2 - Chassis badly warped (Used wife's hairdryer and a little persuasion).
3 - Pinion pushed so far in it was barely touching the gear. (Removed motor and used appropriate tool to pull pinion back about 1.5mm)
4 - Body screws so tight, I thought I was going to break the body taking it apart. (Prayed to the dear Lord that nothing would break).
5 - Front track - wheels were put on so far on they rubbed against the chassis (cured with some spacers).
OK - all the above I have fixed quite easily, but if you're a newbie, all of this things would probably make me send the car back and steer clear of that company in the future.
On track... this is going to be the slowest Group 5 I have. I've managed to get it running smoothly after fettling, but it's so far off the pace (very tippy compared to all others in the series), that it'll be consigned to running laps at home when I feel like it.
In fact, I would rather they had done an "NSR" with the dimensions and lowered the body and increased wheel base to bring it up to speed. But, hey ho...
