Default New Genesis problems

Hi guys recently bought a CEN Genesis 46 here in the UK after a 2 week wait. Unpacked it all to find the roof of the bodyshell badly scuffed by the packaging and rough handling by the postage company i presume. The shop i got it from have sent photos of the damage to the distributors hopefully something can be worked out.

After running it in by the book 7 tankfulls at idle ( 3.5 hours )i then took it out on its maiden voyage, I was disappointed to say the least the brakes don't work at all and only the front wheels are being driven. To finish off with i tried to go up a 3 - 4 inch kerb slowly and the o/s/f top wishbone snaps in half. The wishbone seems to have fractured as its under strain/twisted as its a very tight fit onto the metal adjuster.

Back to the shop tomorrow, guess it'll be off the road for a few weeks now as the UK distributors don't seem to be very helpfull when i ordered it they said they had stock and that it would arrive next day, it turned up 2 weeks later as i was just about to cancel and get a HPI or Traxxas.
