Ben Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Just a heads up if you’re intending on building any of the three MPC Classic Krate kits. The instructions show the rear wheel being installed backwards. The slotted disc (chain guard) goes on the right side of the bike. The solid disc (disc brake) goes on the left side.

Ben Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 I contacted Round 2 to let them know and they drew up an addendum. It was incorrect in the original instructions as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RancheroSteve Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I dropped into my LHS (Burbank's House of Hobbies) this afternoon to pick up some putty and had a pleasant surprise: the Sting Rays were back in stock! Picked one up, of course. Just FWIW, the addendum hasn't made it onto the instruction sheet yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The R2 offices aren't sitting above a model kit factory and printing press, they are made elsewhere, much of the time overseas and it takes a while for changes to make it to production. It took 40 years before someone spotted the issue and R2 fixed the manual in a day, kinda cool. Edited August 23, 2019 by hpiguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I get all that - mentioning it in this thread in case anyone was wondering. I was just happy to see my LHS had them back in stock and I could get one.

KurtWKC Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I just got this kit and it's really cool, brings back a lot of memories, but I noticed the cables are black and way out of scale, too thick. Wonder what would work to make the cables look closer to scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
