Putting the instructions on PDF is a wonderful idea. And more easily updated to accomodate the annual upgrades. I'd like to see it go one step further and have the CDrom instructions come with short vid clips of what things are supposed to look like and SOUND like. While the Hudy kits do not often come with engines, this would still help. Videos would also help demonstrate the use of the setup stand. I would think the Team drivers could help with this. IT would also serve as another chance to showcase the Superiority of the xray. ...."Here's .........(ME!
)........ winning another race with the XT8..." y'all get the idea.
I experienced the story of not finding the "insert" for the upgraded parts. Damned near put me in a straight-jacket. But as the manual flew across the room in a full-blown conniption fit, the insert fell out. Once I had that it all became more clear and the build proceeded. Missing only a couple of parts.
At the VERY least when updated instructions become available, they "could be" mailed out in sticker form to all those who take the time to register their product.(Along with a fresh Xray/Hudy sticker pack of course
)
