I'm just about done building my kit and I have the top shaft issue with the rubbing and binding of the slipper hub. I also have one CVA with some really bad binding when it's moved in any direction. Already emailed AE to see what they can do it was too late to call. Other then that it went together really well and was a joy to build.

just grind the sides of the collar down a little bit. i had the same issues on one of mine.

I had the same issue with my top shaft, AE replaced free of charge. Are you sure the binding problem are being caused by the CVA and not something in the tranny? I had something like that until I spun the tranny up and the problem went away.

I went and took off the CVA's and only the left one is binding. It will not rotate smoothly off the car as the right does. Waiting for a reply from AE after forwarding my purchase and shipping info like they asked. Hopefully they will replace the parts since I did buy it from an eBay store. We shall see.

Worse case just call, but do it in the morning. I have had better luck with Don!

Bill

and if yu get Don, just be honest, i have heard some of the stories people tell him. haha. (i went off the curb and the chassis just broke in half).

Got my parts today from AE. The funny thing is I never received any response too confirm my info was good enough. Cool enough as I got more then I expected.

It looks like Tower discontinued the Worlds Car on their site. I wonder if that means this run is over?

I thought the Worlds car wasn't a limited run?

It wasn't supposed to be. Neither was the trans kit tho!

Maybe they're addressing the issues with the gearbox?

All I know is a brotha has spent like 3 grand in the past few months on these re re kits, parts,hop ups n gettin em running.....
I hope that part support stays stong.....cause this.....this is heinous.
