My two cents on this. It seems to me the roll bar mounted harness is a modern alteration/hack after-thought to the original design which had the mounting points on the rear bulkhead... or did it? How recent are shoulder harnesses anyway? In any event, It baffles me why you would want to mount something so integral on a chromed part and destroy its esthetic.

Sitting here watching Mad Max and this comes to mind. Lot of details. And right side driver position would be a change.

So here are my results. The material I used was sourced here (https://www.mcmaster.com/9627T11/). It's a silicone rubber tubing that's considerably more pliable than the supplied black PVC tube or even that of wiring insulation (of which I could not find blue wiring that did not have some printing on it). Now that I'm in a blue sort of mood, I'm thinking of heat staining the headers after I add the additional details inspired by Pierre's mods.

Not to pick nits, but isn't a PRO badge awarded to anyone that starts a model as well?🤨

Yep, this happened to me as well. Fortunately it occurred only on one side so I placed the washed-out side inboard. In a later pack another tire is supplied and both sides stayed intact. Perhaps there was a quality issue in the earlier packs? I was contemplating whether it's worth getting a replacement but given our shared experience I believe I will. Besides, we're paying for an elite model.

Pierre, Beautiful work! I appreciate the additional detail touches on generator bracket arm and pully bolt heads. I found some filament tubing normally used for tying fishlines on Amazon and ordered both red and blue. Love the red but I'm leaning towards blue to match paint job. Hope my results are at least half as impressive as yours.

Anybody replace the black spark plug wires with colored ones like blue or red? What diameter tubing did you use?
-
Update. Contacted Customer Service (outstanding btw) and was informed Packs 02 & 03 are on the way! Thanks Sophie!
-
Started my 2 year subscription in August and received Pack 01 so far. Should I have received Pack 02 by now? The order status for October says it's still 'processing'.
-
Good news, the Agora gods sent me pack 5 & pack 6 both! My build is back on. Thank you!

I too have questions about the build order. Specifically, replacing the anchor rings you labored to put on in stage 1 only to have to replace them (or not) in stage 4. Also, I object to glued and screwed superstructure before the the LEDs can be tested. I am putting off couple of months of build because of that.
-
Guess I'll be putting off certain aspects of the build for a couple of months. I'm not about to put untested LEDs into a finished product.
-
The Red LED issue happened exactly the same way to me. It would have been a good move by Agora to update their online instructions that some future circuit board was needed to test the LEDs. Better yet, include the circuit board with the first LED. I would be supremely bummed to find a non-functioning LED at the 'point I was instructed to test' since the forward superstructure is already glued-n-screwed at that point.
