Initially when I recieved the car, i noticed two issues off the bat:
(as of 08/29/2014)
-The infamous
engine idle chirping
-A rattling sound at low RPM's under the hood (either what people say
here or
here)
-
Thud in rear when shifting
The rattling sound particularly bothers be and happens specifically between 1k-2.2k RPM in first or second gear
after the engine has heated up. Initially when it is cooled, i do not hear it. The reason I am so worried is because I used to work on go-karts at a kids camp, and these go-karts would make this same sound when the engine was dying and/or overheating. I just dont want that to happen to this car since it is much more expensive than a go-kart.
