Well, the kit tell you it can be built wide longer shorter to match your cars body.. Guess what nothing is included to do so. The manual gives you the part numbers (good luck finding them). My other complaint is the shocks they designed are kinda toy grade. As soon as you add weight ie: motor, esc, servo they sag and again you need stiffer springs the manual again gives you part numbers (good luck finding them). Last complaint there is no stiffener between the bulkheads so there seems to be a lot of flex in the chassis. Unknown if there is a fix for it so good luck. To be fair I am new to the mini car scene. Been playing with rock crawlers and just wanted a go fast car to run on the streets. So maybe a more experience RC er can figure out this chassis.
Overall I'm quite pleased with this kit. I really like the modularity and how it is possible to build it in several configurations. The instructions are not as clear as Tamiya, so I wouldn't suggest this for a first kit, though everything went together smoothly. My main issue stems from the fact that if you want to build this in the long-wheelbase and/or wide-track configurations, you need to buy extra parts. I did order the longer chassis with the kit, but I didn't realize I needed longer driveshafts for the wide-track build until I reached that step in the assembly. Not a huge issue, it just took extra time to finish up. Oh, and if you want to run the mid-engine, rear drive layout you need a shorty battery.
Great car and great chassis. I bought 2 alpine a110 kit’s and ended up turning it into a dual motor 4wd with 13.5 motors. It rips around the track!
Too many small plastic parts, the suspension does not have oil filled shocks just little springs. The chassis flex is horrible. I recommend spending extra $40 for the kyosho mk2 kit.
Precision precise machinery with admirable engineering. Fantastic kit if you know what you're doing.
Reviewers agree the kit is modular and can be built in several configurations, including wide-track and long-wheelbase layouts, and that it performs well for experienced builders. Ratings are mixed, ranging from 1 to 5. Recurring criticisms include unclear instructions, the need to buy extra parts such as longer driveshafts or longer chassis components for alternative layouts, chassis flex due to the lack of a bulkhead stiffener, and stock shocks that sag under added weight and are described as toy-grade. One reviewer said the kit suits experienced builders rather than first-time builders. One reviewer recommended a competitor kit instead.
