Hi guys, I received yesterday my Kinetic's MRAP 4X4 well known as Maxx Pro.
I notice gaps on each hull sides :



Did you have them on your kits ? TIA.

Those sink holes don't seem too hard to eliminate luckily. The flash on tires looks much more difficult to get rid off... Pity, as the tires look pretty good actually.

But it looks like the problem is on one tire only.

@ Pawel, yes you're right but this is lots of delicate work that could be avoided with better quality of production.
@ Henk, yes I'am still in contact with them. Apparently there is some gaps on their other MRAP but not so deep.
They send me another hull if needed. Great customers service!

I don't have them on mine. Watch the assembly on the drive shafts- the instructions have an error in them, showing you putting it in the wrong hole.

Thx Jason; Even after a base coat the shrinking are visible :
I'am in contact with Kinetic for this trouble.
I don't start this kit right now, I have to finish my Buffalo !
