AMT fast and the furious Supra

I just read about the fast and the furious supra from latest scale auto mag, and it looked quite interesting. Have anybody any experience about that model.

One thing i noticed was that the rims looked pretty bad, but all the other details looked quite good and interesting.

Re: AMT fast and the furious Supra

I've built 2 also. The only problem i had was 1: brake rotors dont all aline (my fault; super glue set up too quickly) and the upper A-Arm is too weak, and flexible, causing the spindle to pop out, casung the tie rod to pop out, causing you to get pissed off. lol

heres the link to mine. Same problems as mentioned above except I didnt have any problems with the wheels, but also the body is a bitch to get on. I cut down the tabs in front so the body will fit right and extended the tabs in back to fit the slots.

I also found this to be a problem, the spindle that holds the front brake rotors and wheels that is supposed to slide into a small hole in the lower A Arm, well it doesnt hold it to well, infact both of mine have a small negative camber (whitch is ok for me) this caused me alot of anger because i could never get the posts to sit in the holes, and it causes the wheels to turn at different angles when you try to turn them... just a bit of a piss off, but its not that big of a deal, and you dont really notice it.
