i just got my chassis built yesterday but still need to paint the body, but i am on the brink of selling it... i just find it sooo huge. this will be decided later today.
the KMC wheels are junk, the first time i was screwing the beadlock plate the screw flew off and i actually bent it, it's soo tiny and long. also took me a few tries to get it mounted, my hand is still sore. another thing about these KMC, VXT tires and foams, there are no vent holes on the KMC so when mounted and the tires get squashed and distort like crazy and retains it.
as for the manual... i did not find it 100% scaled for the hardware in my kit. maybe there where some changes to the included hardware since the updated braces where added. anyways, i cant find the manual on the site, why cant they provide a PDF so that i can save it on my phone for future reference in case needed????
as for the shocks, i am not really too picky on it being built. I also never use stock oil that came with any of my rc's. the manual does not detail how to properly build the shocks, i had to watch the Harley Design build to learn how to do it properly. Also why is there a bladder? my proline powerstrokes dont have a blader and they work perfectly!
the shock mounts.... those are limiting, we cant really angle the shocks properly at the rear and there is no optional mounting positions.
for a premium kit Vanquish could have opted to include a better tranny design, why does it come with an SCX10 v1 tranny? then they included a spur hood that is totally useless!
Come on Josh, after we had that exchange on the Scale News Update on the BRX01, the VS4-10 seems pale in comparison with the design and parts included. in all honesty, i did not buy a BRX01 because i am not into realistic scale looks and opted for the VS4-10 since it was first released... i will test the chassis tomorrow and am too afraid to get the pretty axles scratched! LoL
