Atleast it's still under warranty. Claim it as a factory defect cause it couldn't hold up to "general/standard" use & abuse.

So many projects! At least this one should help offset some of the money I have been dumping into the 2+2 lately. I'll be honest though, the blue trucks turned out so well I really don't want to ship them out :'(
Finally finished a few customer 64th scale truck projects. Mostly stretch the frame, install extra axles, do some detailing here and there, install a grain box. The red ribbed side is one I designed and 3d print, the blue style I buy from a guy. I like when the guys I build them for give me new, high detail trucks to start with, like $40-60 ones. I can usually just use some brass and stretch the frame, sometimes lucky enough to not even paint the cab like the Mack.
Then I get projects like the orange paystar. Cast in the 70's for pennies. Literally throw everything away but the cab. Put it on a frame that comes out of a newer high detail one, install mirrors, fuel tanks, paint here and there.
