XRAY - Model racing cars

hi all

the last xray i got was a FK05, which was some yrs ago, i stopped due to studies, nvr got a T2. i just got myself a T3. open the box, lift the chassis up, almost cut myself. seems like i hv to read the manual to sand the edges first. after a careful inspection, i'm kind of disappointed with the T3 quality.

1. the edges are too rough from production, consumers will cut themselves if not handle properly.


2. i also noticed abt 3 to 4 counter-sunk holes on bottom of chassis that small bits of the edges are starting to peel. it really gives me a very bad impression either the cutting tools are not as good (wore out) or the chassis material is not as good as before?




3. the battery slots don't look straight to me, looks jagged. really looks like the slots are chiseled bit by bit to form the straight line.
(i'm sorry no pics right now as it's difficult to capture this in a camera)

4. lastly, there's a line running across from left to right on the rear of chassis (both sides) abt 3-4mm away from the rear edge. looks like a "dent", is this normal?




i have yet started to build the car but i already disappointed with the quality/finishing of the chassis although the above mentioned stuffs shd be able to fix with some CA & sanding. i have yet checked out other parts of the car, so not sure if other parts have these "quality" issue as well. i'm sorry as i really did not experience these before in my FK05.

are there any T3 owners seeing the same thing as me?
can someone from xray respond?

thx
& sorry for the poor quality pics

The line at the end of the chassis sometimes occure, it is standard appearance on the raw material. It does not have any negative effect on handling, performance neither quality. There will be made official announcment on this matter so XRAY customers are aware that this line can appear and is standard.

Sorry to hear (see) that the edges are ragged, this again sometimes happen in production. Usually you should not get this kind of chassis but since you already got it, the ragged edges will again not have any negative influence on life or quality. We suggest all graphite parts to be sanded and protected with CA glue, so during this procedure you will remove all the rough edges. Will inform production to be more carefull on this matter. Thank you for providing the feedback.
