It is printed with older 3D print technology and requires preparation before assembly.
Carson said it is being converted to be printed in better material, so it is better to wait for the improved version.

the bearings to axle if that's what you could call them did not match so I had to do modification and bushed the whole lot not worth the moneySon of a gun-ner wrote:Well, I'm disappointed, got the set, it has a few missing nuts and washers, quite expensive to buy a pack on their own. But worse of all, I have the rubber tyres which I wanted, but the wrong roadwheels, I ended up with wheels meant for solid printed tyres.
Sadly I'm still waiting for this issue to be rectified. Apparently Carson has problems with the printing company he uses, but now I'm wondering about this as he seems to be getting new printed stock to sell.
So, I'm not happy with Carson.
Oh, and also, would be nice if the set had a couple of spare wheels to adorn the hull.

Is it as fragile as it looks? I'm not convinced about the longevity of plastic running gear.

some of it is pretty solid but think they are over engineered ? most of the printed parts are ok its just that the bits ,are to me after thought' s need bearing axles ete ete toss em in a bag away you go ? they just did not fit far to sloppy wheel /bearing set up ? a slim bolt as a axle ? bits missing so hence the mod took some doing but better for it ? IF hooben did a kit form with bearings of there take on the HVSS might be a winner ?
