You'll almost certainly need to replace the wheelsets and the couplers. You may well have to find a place to add some weight too. I agree that this is not a $40 value; at that price, the cars should work perfectly out of the box. A couple of general comments here: <br /> <br />(1) although in general I find the magazine reviews to be informative and fair, I frequently find that, whether kit or RTR, I need to adjust the coupler height - yet the review either doesn't cover this topic at all, or erroneously claims that the coupler height is spot-on. <br /> <br />(2) Walthers has done much for the hobby as a distributor (IMO). And some of their products are unique enough that I will still consider buying them and deal with the inevitable problems. But I have indeed experienced problems - mostly parts simply not fitting correctly due to, presumably, mistakes in the mold-making - with nearly every Walthers product I've bought.
