Re: Drive Assembly Sprockets are Custom Bored
I'm trying to be gracious and professional about this, but ... before anyone calls this a "predicament" or thinks they are "limited" please think twice. First off, how much design, engineering, and manfacturing time was spent by Paul, JVN, and IFI? What if you had to include that time in your build and/or deduct it from your allowable expenses? 80 dollars would seem pretty cheap then. And FIRST DID do you a favor. Try and build this with last year's kit. I don't remember anyone promising you 4WD right out of the box. What you were promised was a robust gearbox and ready made chassis to get you rolling quickly.

Relax. Have fun. Enjoy the improvements. Build what you want to. Thanks Paul, JVN, IFI, and FIRST.
