Avoid this model at all cost! Brand new kit, missing parts. A mish-mash of SAE and metric hardware. A rear ballstud mounting that makes no sense coupled with a rear shock tower with loads of ball stud options that are completely useless since the rear shock tower is mounted about an inch behind where they would be useful. Overall this is the worst build I've done in 14 years in this hobby. The plastics, ball cups and steering system are totally vintage (40+ year old technology). For the price being asked I expected updated hardware and modern technology. Not pieces carried over from ancient models. If this is typical Custom Works quality, I'm shocked they're still in business., unless they're just focusing on fleecing uninformed racers.
Everything went together smoothly. These oval specific kits are so simple and easy to build. I recommend Custom Works kits, this is the 3rd different CW kit I’ve built in a couple months.
Good kit little cheap on some things but it is what it is. Really looking forward to racing it this year . Would buy again!
I'm rating this a 2, not because it's an inferior car, because it breaks easily, or is a design that just doesn't work. It is well designed and drives beautifully. The problem with it lies in quality control. I ran into more issues with parts for this build than any kit I've built in my 40 years of building and racing rc cars. This had wrong screws and missing screws, no diff balls at all in the kit, and a thrust bearing assembly that either had thrust washers drilled too small or a metric screw too large to fit through the thrust washers. And I'm only halfway through the build. Now I fully expect a problem with almost everything remaining to build. Very disappointing!!
Four reviews with ratings from 1 to 5, with two verified owners among them. Reviewers are split. Two praise the build as simple and smooth, and one describes the car as well designed and good to drive despite cost-cutting. Two of the critics focus on quality control: missing and wrong hardware, a mix of SAE and metric fasteners, missing differential balls, and a thrust bearing assembly that did not fit. One critic also objects to dated plastics, ball cups and steering components. Recurring problems are incomplete kits and mismatched hardware. Assessments of build ease and kit quality diverge sharply.
- + Simple, easy build for oval kit
- + Well designed and drives well
- + Smooth assembly for some builders
- + Good value for the price
- − Missing and incorrect screws
- − Mixed SAE and metric hardware
