i think i got more enjoyment from building the classic. i mean, this worlds car is really no different than the stuff members have been building for years. wide front axles, modern shocks, upgraded trans. granted, a 6 gear gold tub is like a belly button, everybody got one. but even though they get boring to look at, it's nice to build a stock short arm car.
now, the trans issues may have helped with the lack of enjoyment. but i also had a problem with one of the cva's. the collar that slides into the bone was either too long or the cup part of the axle wasn't machined properly. when you would spin it, if the bone wasn't basically inline with the axle, it would bind up. i ended up grinding the sides of the collar a little bit and it fixed the problem.
there's some other things that weren't really "problems", but some of the plastic could've been a little "tighter". there is quite a bit of play at the rear arm/arm mount. it's nothing a washer couldn't fix, the front arms were better. i get it though, they need to take out the stuff that
i like (massaging parts, etc.) and make it easy for people to build so they don't cry.
i do plan on changing stuff down the road. i want to grab some white rere shock parts to change the spring cups and rod ends (like the original), titanium turnbuckles and some other stuff. still up in the air about an ano color change.
