In my mind it's better than any other kit I've built. OK, the steering mechanism is a bit flimsy, but I'm sure that will be sorted in time. Let's face it, the superb 410 fell down on it's too thin walled servo saver, but it still is a ground-breaking car. The key aspect for me is that, as a lower rank driver, it feels a balanced and safe car.
I've tried it at my local track today and I can push it into corners as quick as my old X6 and it has none of the 'twitchy' feeling that I had from my more recent TLR22. All of this with no weight added, which speaks volumes for the dynamics of the car.

I've seen one snap the stearing arm that conects the turn buckles. It is a little thin there. I shall machine up an alloy one during my build this week.

When did you order yours J ? Mine is supposed to arrive tuesday
Robocop, what have you heard ? It's much to early to even comment yet. Make a judgment after the car has been run for a while !

Not disappointed in the slightest had no major problems with the build & i think it looks great, not run it yet though but can't wait
I have buds balls in the diff & it feels sweet & the locking nut fits properly in the outdrive, have replaced all the plastic washers with alloy ones which has made everything move nicely I would say the manual could be better, for someone new to the game setting the diff up could be a problem as it doesn't say how much to tighten it up The only slight niggle seems to be the turnbuckles being so tight they can't be adjusted on the car, on mine this only seems to happen when the ball cup is wound right in, this is because the turnbuckle becomes a bit thicker where the thread stops so if it enters the ball cup it is going to make it stiff, i drilled into my cups about 5mm & enlarged the hole just slightly, i then greased the threads & now i can adjust them on the car easy fix but i was lucky to notice the turnbuckle getting slightly thicker If anyone is having any problems with the build drop me a pm & i will do my best to help you out

Not run mine yet, but built it this week.
No servo saver, dodgy steering geometry that casuse the steering to 'lock' at full lock, and yes the steering looks flimsy too, not surprised one has snapped. Apart from that, everything else looks good. As Paul said, it would be nice if the manual explained some of the tuning options, ie motor/ gear options, as well as explaining all the inserts. I'm sure this will be on the website in time |

I've taken my time, but at this stage until I learn the car more I have got 100% faith in the build. Thought the SV manual was very good and in reality I never had a single issue with that car. |

This post is not to put people off i cant wait to get mine but it will highlight things for td to have a fettle with on future kits,i hope i have not upset people but everyone will look at the cars during the build,& things will be tweeked just like on the 410.

As others have said the manual is lacking info and I found having to guess what to do next to get mine built lol
I also think that the turn buckles maybe a lil too long as as you thread them further into the cups they are also getting closer to where the ball cup!? Trying to get the measurements shown in the manual is hard work! The online manual shows different measurements now! |
