|  New scx10 falken gripe
Picked up another scx yeasteday from LHS, super stoked to try it out. Our LHS has crawler trails so I figured, why not just run it now! So I pull it out of the box and first thing I notice is, steering servo is already bound on crossmember! Now being as I already have an scx10 I know how to rectify the situation, but geesh can't even play before finding issues  . Next thing I notice is the double stick tape holding esc is already falling off... Good thing i brought mine with me... End rant...

Noticed that on my Deadbolt as well and stickers on body where all peeling at the edges. Like you I expected a little more care.

I'm not sure if Axial's Quality Control is lacking or if you just got "the one"....there are a few in every bunch. The servo hitting the frame NEEDS a design change!!!! The decals and servo tape...I get that, it just happens |

The tape and stickers i understand as well, no biggie there, and i am planning on doing a cms but that cross member seriously needs something done by axial. i like the tires on it though, nice and soft and sticky. wheels are vented from the factory.

I am curious how those tires perform vs. the Treps.

How do you fix that servo hitting the cross member issue?  |

take the cross member out, trim it with a tool of your choice, or drill new holes in the frame and move it forward a little...i don't have a set of treps to compare them to, so I'm not sure, all I have to compare them to is a set of cut 2.2 mud slingers.

Are you friggin' kidding me? Axial is still ignoring that crossmember issue? That was screwed up on the Honcho kit like 4 years ago or whenever it came out.  |

Not kidding, took it out of the box, set it down on the tailgate of my truck and noticed it.

After a few months with this rig and many many many packs through it, I am happy to report that I have yet to break a single part. I have upgraded the links and steering but otherwise the rest is stock. Stock servo and all. This rig rocks on 3s.
