I've only had 3 brands since I came back into it, but I suppose I've been lucky in that the only one with truly dire quality was the car I bought first to try it out (again). And was bought cheaply.
The others have had good (TD) and excellent (X-ray) quality, and except for a couple of little design niggles have been excellent.
The first car, the b4.1, was utterly shocking. Some of the parts looked like test pieces from the first run of a new tool, porosity, stepped seams, incomplete runners/risers , really didn't inspire confidence. Unfortunately, many of the features/assemblies (and probably part numbers!) were recognisable from when I left the hobby ~25 years ago!
The reliability was so bad I sold it as soon as I could.
Snapping the front off a brand new chassis (60 seconds run time, give or take!) when landing an almost flat 15cm jump, was the final straw.
