First Gramey, I appreciate your input but you are incorrect. I have raced the Losi cars/trucks in the Pro class, from Texas to Illinios for almost two years. I also run a small metalworking rc business, so I am more than qualified to form opinions on rc race vehicles. If your pins are falling out you don't know how to use Loctite. Losi cars do wear faster than others, that is true, but they don't have blatant manufacturing flaws from the get-go. (I do think that Losi has some issues they addressed with the 2.0 version that should have been taken care of on the new cars, but that is why I am now racing another brand.) I have also run just about every other manufacturer's cars this summer before settling on a brand, and the ones that do have issues (RC8) have them resolved by sending out updates that fully address the problems.

Second, I originally popped back on here to apologize and retract some of what I said. There are a total of 12 large sized holes that need to be reworked, the rest of them use metric fasteners that are included in the kit, so are correct. Also, same with the small ones, there are 6 so far that I have found that use standard Losi hardware so I have re-countersunk them. I will fix any more that I find as I go along, as a lot of metric hardware is included in the kit. I think it is also a little bad to mix/match, it makes wrenching more difficult but that is my opinion. My bad on the hole numbers, I apologize for posting before knowing fully what I was dealing with.
The offer to refund me on the kit is also much appreciated, and is what I should have been offered to begin with, in my opinion. I have already bought the countersink and remachined the appropriate holes, I am looking forward to running this chassis this winter.
I am done with the issue, if anyone wants soem help/info on reworking which holes they can pm me.
Thanks.
Chris
