the plasric hexes have a flange which touches the inner race, how tight are you doing the wheels up to warp it so much it touches the outer race?
Flex on the upper shock mount, if you can notice that then you must be the best driver on here.

The flange eventually squashes over time causing the hex to rub on the hub!
As for the plastic shock stand off they are useless, eventually the long screw will bent over time just like all manufacturers that use this method. The Steel ones do not bend it wouldn't cost them much to shove these in the kit as well.
Plastic caps do leak more than the alloy ones, fact! You build the shocks and notice the caps are slightly wet you tighten them a like more and find that they strip. It would have added probably £4 to a kit to put the alloy ones in!
3/4mm worth of wishbone slop acceptable? Not in my eyes especially for the pedigree this buggy is claimed to be, it might be for others.
Did I say I was a good driver, no. I've been racing and building cars for 17 years plus currently F2 and race at the Nationals so over the years you know what's a good kit and what's a bad one!
I was questioning the quality between the 210 and 410 if you read my post. IMO they've dropped the ball on the 210 and clearly have tried to squeeze every penny out of it. I'd pay slightly more for the kit if it had the extras and would've enjoyed the build more.
Performance is fine but the puild is very poor at best.
