I received the MKI4 from Ben...it's really nice of Ben to spray the bodyshell for me. I'll give a fair assessment of the car the way i received it, the parts are pretty well made, but Ben didn't build the car too well. First the shocks were leaking badly, the diffs were extremely gritty, belts way too tight...my mate and i spent the whole day rebuilding the car. We found out that some screws were misplaced and screwed in all the wrong places, the front and rear lower gearbox screw threads were stripped. The whole central motor frame was crooked, car was set up with weird camber angles. Ben, you're a nice chap, easy to deal with and accommodating. Please do not take it the wrong way matey, i'm not angry with you. The car looked ok at first glance, but when my mate and i started rebuilding it, we found loads of mistakes and poor building. It looked as though when you were building it, either you built without looking at the instruction manual or that you were rushing. My mate thought that the MKI4 was built by a first time RC car kit builder and was pretty shocked when i told him i got it from someone who's got experience in RC. After many hours of rebuilding and setting up, the car's tranmission is really smooth and is no longer tight, central motor mount has been straighten out and it's no longer crooked. Overall it's a nice car with a prototype feel to it. Now all we need are some screws, front and rear lower gearbox covers. Once again i'll like to thank you for going thru our deal and spraying the bodyshell. Cheers mate....
