No more than any other club racer, and a lot less than some. Maybe they have improved later batches of the cars, I don't know…. But look back to the 210 threads when they were released, the number of issues was above what you would typically expect from a new model.

I had one of these first batch cars and the quality of plastics used were poor. Shock towers broke for fun, especially the rear one, camber links changed themselves at will during a race, the steering arm broke if you sneezed on it, ball studs hollowed out to allow a hex driver in them shattered meaning a ball cup pop off then became a race ending issue.

Like I say, that was when they first hit the shops so they may well (I would hope that they did) have improved the quality of materials.

Once I put the Akula CF kit on it, the Cream alloy/CF front tower, and ball studs, turnbuckles and ball cups from another brand on it then I had some of my best races with it.

But even having to do that in the first place was more than I thought was reasonable. All new cars have issues of some sort, but I thought the 210 had more than its fair share.
