Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / February 2004

Hi.

I recently purchased this kit and have just completed assembly of the car
except for all the electrics. This is my first R/C car, but I was surprised
to notice that despite the general high overall quality of the chassis etc,
the included Pro-line wheels appear to be of poor quality.

When mounted on the car it is obvious that the wheel rims are not very
round. When rotating the wheels you can see very easily that they are out or
round. This is before I have even glued the tyres on.

Is this normal? They might only be 3-4 mm out of round but on a car of this
size that is significant. The front wheels are also worse than the rear. I'm
thinking about complaining to Associated to see if they will replace them.

Anyone else had this problem with the  B4 kit or Proline wheels?

Regards,

Ish
