The plastics and graphite parts aren't ''pure'', neither is the alloy. Basically it means that instead of melting down one type of of material and using that in the molds/casts, they use anything to hand, meaning you get a horribly weak car.

The carbon fibre is only carbon for the top and bottom few layers, the centre is FRP, so its bendy too.

Parts from genuine cars will fit, but whats the point when you'll have to replace everything that strips threads and shatters? You'll spend more than a genuine one costs.

Steer well clear and be very cautious if you see an Mi4 or TRF416 on eBay with no box and a photocopied manual.
