OK, the box arrived, most eagerly awaited, excited for a new 2WD, nervous that it could be a massive hit (good materials) or a flop (floppy plastics). They do say, first impressions count, so on opening up the container, a rather nice kit box is in there, more so, the artwork is a sleeve, the box will make a very good storage box too!
After checking out the parts, a few things are evident, this isn't a cheap kit, to throw away. It comes full ballraced (all except the ackerman plate), the screws are steel, and of the 2mm Hex variety, and, surprisingly, the ballstuds have a hex driver fitting too.
All the mouldings are really well finished, very little flashing on the parts, wishbones, towers, chassis, so far, are made out of a very stiff composit, somewhere between the B4Team and B4FT Graphite. The other mouldings aren't to shabby either, made of good, solid plastic. You may want to grease the screws going into the harder stuff though.
Assembly is easy, elthough the instructions could be made a little clearer at some points (steering assembly), and there is no spacer between the front bearings, not to sure if this will cause an issue on wheel fitment though, wait and see, but apart from that, the parts have slotted together really well, like you would expect, in a pro level kit.
