I can also see the hydraulic cylinders are different from the past.... I don't have a kat and I'm not trying to sell you a kat. Just pointing out things I've seen.

He bought a late model only a few months ago, some of the things wrong straight out of the box:

1. Side of body badly bent.
2. Main track drive chassis bent to a difference of 25mm from front to back.
3. Track links bent and damaged.
4. Pressure relief valve missing.
5. Brushless Esc missing.
6. Nuts and bolts missing.
7. Every nut and bolt on the main Body and Turntable was loose and needed loctite.
8. Main gear drive on turntable motor loose and fell on first test, so had to pull it all apart and start again.
9. Paint job is sh^%.
10. 1 out of 3 servos to drive hydro valves stuffed.
11. Countersunk bolts for the main body assembly, but no countersinking on the holes.

the main pump drive shaft also recently broke after only a few hrs use.
