Thanks a lot for putting the review online. I hope it will be helpfull for anybody who is considering to buy this kit

Thanks for the review, it's quite helpful. When you say the width of the hull and the tire diameters are a little small, could you define "a little?" A millimeter? Five millimeters?

Thanks for your reply. As I said in the review I did a quick comparison of some basic dimensions. And they all came out around 1mm too small. Tomorrow I will do new comparisons of other parts of the vehicle to be sure. Things like vehicle height I can only determine after building the kit and having it standing on it's wheels. Tomorrow I will give more info about the dimension issues.

I just picked up the old Tamiya kit for $16, then spent $22 on the PE from Voyager. Sounds like I'd have been better off just buying this one, LOL!

Just making the kit, found that there shold be small pair of mounting brackets for the gearbox but they only give you one ! Not insurmountable but the whole chassis construction is a bit lacking in rigidity.

I've just come back from China where I aquired this kit for £9.00 say $15, looking forward to builing it, but, does anyone know of a build log for it.
