                        Not necessarily a flaw in the kit. You just have to be careful when building the chasis to get it all lined up correctly and straight. It is still a pretty god kit, not to mention the only one out there of this truck.

                        I have the bigfoot variant (supposedly) and it is essentially the same kit. I had a lot of problems getting the fram to sit nice and square. I built a jig out of LEGOs to make sure everything was nice and alligned. Went with the kit wheels which were grossly undersized. Eventually I'll have to get a replacement.

                        gdarwin has it right. If you were not careful when building the frame and rear suspension, it will get twisted and the rear wheels wil not sit flat on the ground. You could try gently prying them apart and regluing while the frame is taped down to a flat surface to ensure it is square and straight.
