First off why is it listed as prebuilt transmission when it is not also listed as prebuilt shocks they are not you need to assemble absolutely every single bit of this kit.
Also, two parts trees were missing from my kit. I cannot assemble my shocks. Now I have to fight with Kyosho to get the parts replaced..
This seems like it will be a great car, but I don’t know when I will ever get mine built now.
This has been an aggravation from the beginning.
