Slot.it GT40 Gulf

G'day all,
I had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of my new Slot.it GT40 Gulf and it arrived on Monday this week. As per usual I couldn't help myself but had to give it a run around the track, unboxed it and took the body off to true/oil grease etc and the first thing I noticed was that the front right hand tyre grub screw (for height adjustment) had been super glued in place because someone had made a mess of the grub screw hole during manufacturing. I'm not one who usually complains about these things but its not the first time I have recieved a 'Brand New' Slot.it car only to find it damaged. I purchased the Nissan R390 Calsonic earlier in the year and it already had one of the front wheel components broken. I take it the thing that we call quality control doesn't exist with these cars or I'm just one of the unluckiest people around (Actually I am, usually when I buy something brand new theres always a problem-(Nissan Entrails a lemon,fridge blew up,microwave didn't work, numerous broken bones, car accident etc). I just thought I'd post this problem as I know there are quite a few collectors here on the forum and it wouldn't look good if in the future you sold your new Slot.it GT40 to someone else for a tidy profit only for the person who bought the car from you to get stuck into you and say that you have used the car and repaired it with super glue. To say I was dissapointed is an understatement. I would take the car back to where I purchased it from but the airfare alone would probably buy me 10-15 more Slot.it cars. Although I am peed off I would like to say this this won't stop me purchasing more Slot.it's in the future. So much for a limited edition.
Cheers
Matt

QUOTE (highbarn @ 11 Aug 2011, 12:54) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>This is something Slot.it have done on their last two releases, GT40 and Toyota 88C. I know their standard eyelets had a habit of popping out at an inopportune moment so I guess it's an improvement. I must admit at first sight it does look like a bit of a dog's breakfast.

I can,t believe this is a modification... Mine came like this with bare wires touching and shorting and the grub screws had been forced in so hard it had damaged the guide and braids. So after fitting eyelets new guige and braids I now have a car i can race. Mr slot-it you need a kick up the back side if this is what we can expect in the future. Think I,ll hold on the Toyota for now. Any answers Mr Slot-it????
