Tamiya quality 3 years 7 months ago #61486

Since a little time, I yave a doubt on the quality of the tamiya products. My last kit, the mf01x beetle rallye is a good chassis but plastic look very brittle like the ta01 hubs. The stickers don't stick well to. And 15 minutes ago I looked my rere brat never used built by myself. And here is what I saw...
Screws ren't too tighten.
I think that the quality is down . :(

What are we looking at? Cracks where the shocks mount on the trailing arms? They all do that sooner or later. IMO it's a design fault - hole too small, wrong place for a self tapping screw etc. It really need to be a clearance hole for an M3 machine screw with a nut on the inside.

That's happened surprisingly early though :(

Thanks I was thinking to use the tubing solution. I would like to run it a little.
