Re-Re Chassis Quality Question

Post by GeekSpeed »

Hi guys.

I got my Re-Re in the mail yesterday and I am super excited. I am going to build it and shelf it next to my Cadillac. Anyway, I was looking over the chassis and it seems a bit... off. I have a few pictures. Should there be the ridges and bends that are in the pics? Should I contact Associated for a replacement? If this is normal, I won't worry about it. Thanks all!

It's normal, the original has it too just not as noticeable.

They said the re-release parts were going to have slight variations to distinguish them from the originals. I guess typical dodgy modern craftsmanship does the trick. :P

I find it very hard to believe that the re-re is of a lesser grade than the original. Should all be top notch stuff :wink:

I've read enough reports to make me feel that there were some substantial quality control issues. How about the top shaft dilemma? I'm not knocking the re-release at all, and would possibly like to own one in the future. I'm just sayin'.
