Hi everyone
Has anyone else experienced the two black plates' at the lowest point of the front suspension forks
The two fitting pins either fail or are too weak and break off
These were sanded back smooth by using 180/240 grit Henry board
2 part epoxy resin to glue in place = bombproof fix
Tamiya gloss black acrylic paint was applied

Kind regards

Master-Builder

John

Hi John, Blink

Firstly I have changed the title of your thread as no "DESIGN FLAW" has been identified.Confused

I`m not doubting this has happened, but it would help all involved if you could state a Pack/Parts issue number of your problem.

I can`t see anywhere that this issue has previously been posted, so need your help to identify the posted problem.

In future, "before" you go down the Super Glue/epoxy resin route you are at liberty to request replacement parts.

The other thing to take into account is that even at 1:4 scale, small parts will have even smaller fixings. So extra care must be taken. That said in the best possible scenario things will still fail. So then request replacement parts as said before.
