Look how tamiya handled the bbx release for comparison. They announced it at a toy fair, the internet exploded and there was a lot of hype for the rc. So they pushed back the release several months to ensure they had supply. Seems like a good move to me.

I've read some of the wiggle while wheeling could be due to the servo saver spring. Installing a stiffer spring, second spring, or even just a zip-tie around the servo saver spring is supposed to reduce the wiggle. I haven't yet tried it...

It looks like if you fill the toe with a 5 minute epoxy and held it in a more up position, without it filling the hole that the pegs need . That maybe keeping the rider face down while holding the toe upward and shape it as the epoxy drys that you could easily get 1/4" to 3/8" more toe distance from the ground .
