Any reason that they can't get it right?...What's your experience?

That's my point....I do have the skills to install the correct lighting,fiddle around with couplers, add weight, re-power engines, super detail & paint brass and plastic engines and cars.I EXPECT to do that on lower priced equipment,I buy the newer stuff because they usually run and look great, I just would like the manufactures to bring it up ANOTHER notch.With my Mr. Magoo eyesight and my Fred Flintstone fingers, it,s getting harder to change/correct things.

The bottom line is that you should be able to trust that the product your are buying will be or do what it is designed for without further modification. Being on the low end should not mean a lack of quality in what is included with that particular model.

NOTE: $35.00 is not cheap for a name brand, empty, snapped together, RTR, plastic model, and should not require any further adjustment or modification to provide satisfactory performance.
