Let me get this right your comparing HD quality control(a icon of motorcycles from around 1940)to a rc truck.hummmm.....Maybe you shouldnt have had your 6yr old set the truck up or maybe your not telling us that he ran into something a caused the issue in the first place and your trying to put blame on poor quality.You said"The truck as a whole offers a great value"that why u started a thread bashing it.Just one mans thoughts.
