I got the white kit from SCC. I opened it up, chassis, the upper body sections and interior were both wired down and the quarter turn "key" into the chassis were firmly attached. Three bags of parts were tucked underneath the base, clear parts, allen key and a pod adaptor and a bunch of lower body parts. The lower body parts gave you two different lower side panels, three different panels to fill the front center radiator opening, two different "plates" to fill in under the rear glass. BUT, no windshield wiper blade assembly (?), I can make my own if needed. Looks like the headlight buckets and lenses will be a challenge to install. And amazingly, there was only one part that I had to guess what it was and where it fit ..... the exhaust pipe assembly with sidewalls, took a few minutes to figure it out. Planning a yellow paint job, but no hideous blue wheels.
The chassis and running gear had the same pod related issues mentioned in other posts, I opened up the chassis holes one size and the pod floats just fine, might look in my stash for the normal Slot it pod screws. I snipped off the outrigger wings on the pod, they never worked for me. Note, the pod is a 0.5mm offset pod. Rear wheels are press on plastic with inserts, going to look thru my extra Slot it set screw wheels to see if any will accept the inserts. Popped the magnet out, put in two mag shaped tungsten weights and two discs right behind the guide post. Also removed the motor set screws and put in normal "motor fixing" screws.
Gonna go slow with it, the garage gets mighty warm (ok, dang hot!) in sunny South Florida.
