Absolutely agree, 100%.

I would even go as far as to say cut out the electrical gimmicks on the cars too.
Even they have problems and TBH, are something virtually never used in the future once the model is built.

I would disagree, as Birdaj has said, it's the 1 who has problems who will be remembered, not the 100 that were successful, but why would the majority not have these functions, when it's only a few that have problems, that in most cases aren't even the publisher's fault? I say this because I have bought quite a few complete partworks off Ebay that the builder/ collector had completely messed up, for example the Shelby Mustang I picked up a few months back had ill fitting panels and doors wouldn't close, and the only problem with it, was that the builder couldn't screw the screws all the way down. Another example, I bought a 3d printer that was published by Eaglemoss, the guy that sold it to me listed it as faulty, had Eaglemoss send him quite a few replacements and sent numerous emails to complain about it being faulty. Anyway, once I got it, I found that in fact, it was completely dead, so I open it up, and within 2 minutes found the fault. The guy had not fully pushed in the socket to the power supply, 2o minutes later, I was making my first test print. I have also managed to screw things up on occasions, most recently on one off my R2D2 builds, I built 2, first one worked perfectly, second one took nearly a month to figure out why it wasn't working, i had managed to plug in the head motor plug the wrong way round and ruined the controller on it. I am convinced that in the vast majority of cases, things don't work out, simply because some of these partworks may be beyond the capabilities of the person building them.
