It's a shame about the shipping damage. I'm not sure WTF these shippers do to this stuff while on route. Something packed that well in a wooden case shouldn't see any damage unless it gets run over. I'm sure you'll get it fixed up easy, it's just a shame you need to. It's nice out today so get out there and film some vids!
Thanx reg A pretty easy fix. will post some pics...would take forever if i would of ordered parts and im pretty sure DHL would of dragged thier a$$..I think it will be stronger now too

No marks on outside, happened twice!!!
Hey RW ..One downfall to the way they built this thing..Not very easily accessable ..Not a simple task to take the cab off.i tried a little .Looks as tracks and under fenders need to be removed ..going to wait til i have lights to install and mabey a sound unit..Lots is accessable through the under belly pans.. pump / valves and pump speed control look to be quite easy enough to service ..now the travel motors is a different story ..hopefully these work for a long time ..lol

I feel for some of these guys and hear ya ..lots are heavey ...If some knew what was in the box things might change and then more stuff would go missing ..Have you seen what the airlines do with your luggage ..lol
