Quality/Missing parts issues?
 
any one had missing parts etc

bit anoyed after spending my hard earnt to find bag C has the 6 3x12mm screws missing:mad:
hopefully they will turn up in another bag

sime46 25-09-2009 08:49 PM
I think there were one or two printing errors re locating screws in bags etc. I opened all the screw bags and put them all in one pot. No missing parts in mine. Hope this helps.

Yep did the same with mine mark, found them in another bag.
Does this a few time through the build. I just got used to it in the end, and just looked in the next bag.:thumbsup:

jimmy 25-09-2009 09:56 PM

Alex H 25-09-2009 09:58 PM

Hello, you will find them in bag D, I did!:thumbsup:

jimmy 25-09-2009 11:59 PM
Have you bought one Damo? is it because I beat you last weekend? :thumbsup::lol:

This kit looks amazing. It is the first batch from a brand new company trying to bring racers a pure race oriented car. They are not a huge company.

I wouldn't go knocking them just because you can't find a couple of screws straight away.

Besides it seems any un-forseen issues with individual kits, you contact TD or your hobby store and they sort it straight away. :thumbsup:

I agree. In fact, i got EXTRA screws......:p. Anyway, other than screws in another bag, these were my kitting experience on the 410(would be great if TD is reading this;)):

1) Missing 1 x 2 hole shock piston
2) 2 x pivot ball of the anti-roll bar with stripped grub screw threads
3) Mismatched anodized colors of the 2 chassis side plate
4) Kit rear roll pins are way too short. Have already stripped both rear wheels.
5) Stripped Hitec(24) servo horn
6) Bearings leaking oil/grease

If anyone is interested, i got my kit from Hong Kong. Other than these hiccups, this fella has been a blast to drive. At more than 1700g, it really handles the off road terrain with authority and literally jumps like a 1/8 buggy. :thumbsup:

Mismatched Colors (Definitely not a lighting issue)

Yeah, section 8 (page.21.) should be Bag E not D

Tein, that is one bad colour match :mad:

Great, that's a very encouraging response from TD. Problem is, i don't have a local distributor in Singapore. And im not sure if the HongKong/Shanghai counterparts would take this up, any hints?;)

cheers
