XRAY - Model racing cars

Hello.

I have just finished the assembly of this fantastic model and I have two questions:

1) When I assembled the shock shafts to the 4-hole 1.1mm pistons and inserted them into the alu shock body, I found that there is a lot of play. The pistons do not fit exactly into the shock body (the body is way bigger than the pistons) and at the final assembly the hole piston goes back and forth. Is this normal?

2) The upper bumper holder (part No 301216) has about 1-2mm gap from the alu front bulkheads. Is this my fault or is it disigned like this. In a serious crash I have a feeling that the chassis would brake.

Takis.

the small gap between the bumper brace and bulkhead is normal as for the shox mine were the same but they work fine
