Received the kit. The spring loaded tour pack docking kit seems a little loose in the 4 point. Thoughts?

As long as the locks are engaged mine is snug, ensure they are rotated all the way around and it should sench down nicely

It's fits fine for me when in the docking station. Are u experiencing a loose within the docking station, if so, snug the locking mechanism with an a-wrench.

Mine was the same way but it was not the fluid joint. There's a screw (the included tool fit) that adjusts the entire units attacment. It might be loose.

I haven't built this rocket yet (I will someday). It will required some beefing up to the internal structure in order to fly safely without tearing itself apart. It's a good looking kit. Anyone who has been flying for years will appreciate it and will know what to do with it. FYI, I am refering to the Estes 2157 Saturn V.

fannie lou, sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return if it was me. And regardless would return it since you already have docking systems. The charging issue is a known one, if you have older docking systems, it may likely not work. New docking systems will most likely work. That does suck. My attitude is that the Nano 4th gen is great for first time ipod users like myself (who will buy new docking stations anyway), not so good for existing users.

That happened to me too once. Think it's jut really compact. Mine ended up being fine once opened!

Mine has zero play and re-centers perfectly. I'd say that if the play doesn't interfere with your carrier landings then you're ok.

Should be ready to go when opened but I have mine for 3 months n some of my colors don't work now so I have to find different kit .. I'll give it 2 out of 5

The only suggestion I have is to just barely thread the thing together until you get both the rear top crossbar bolts through and secured. That and mount it so the threads point away from the cargo basket. Won't scratch or puncture whatever you're carrying. Good luck!

"Need a lot of force" is a bit subjective as it will change with each person. However I have gotten reports of some chargers needing force to insert and remove batteries. It is normal for them to fit tightly. The spring on the negative contact is strong by design. This is to reduce contact resistance for better operation in particular with the C&D adapters. The newest V2.1 chargers seem to be a bit stiffer than the earlier V2.0 chargers. This is most likely manufacturing tolerances in the new production run. It is perfectly ok to push on the negative contact with something non-conductive to take some spring force out of it if the fit is too tight for you. Usage also tends to weaken the spring pressure. If truly unusable then please contact me directly for a replacement. I will investigate this situation further and alter manufacturing if needed to correct any issues.

Oh yes nothing should be loose when you're finished. There will be some shank visible on each bolt. I reversed the bolts so that the flat end faced inward as to not tear into my cargo bag...if that makes any sense.You should tighten everything with a socket wrench. Good luck!

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like.First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

Good idea checking it locally. Looks like the smaller drives get the added perks (larger selection of colors and, now, cooler pattern of lights). I liked the price too (and the free docking station) so I guess I will keep mine. Thanks all.

Is the paddle properly seated on the drive shaft? And make certain you are not over-freezing ingredients If you are ok in both situations, contact manufacturer

I've got a Minn Kota 40lb. thrust on mine which has been adequate in an open water area so far. It might be nice to have a little more thrust but larger is heavier and uses more battery power. You really need to weigh out the positives and negatives and then apply that to the situations you will be boating in most of the time. There are other good answers here to help you with that.

Yes, it does seem loose. I notice I need to keep pushing down the 'sticker' (which is basically what the surface is) back down at all the corners.

Sounds like user error... I have no issue, I am an experienced paddler and I don't have any issue. Make sure everything is pumped up evenly and your skegs are in good shape.

I see only reburbished offers in the site, so I suggest to contact each dealer. The one I bought was new, and had no docking station.
