Peebs and Josh and done a lot of refinement to the assembly manuals over the years to circumvent common assembly errors. I don't think that, from a statistical standpoint, we see a larger percentage of tech support requests for Speedball over other kits. It's just that we sell a whole lot of Speedball and Crack kits, and so there will be more tech support posts for those kits here than, say, a Submissive passive controller kit.
There are thousands of working Speedball kits out there. Most went together without a hitch and you don't hear about them very often. Some had a hitch or two here and there but got running with some help, which we are here to provide. While you can indeed save a ton of money over a similar quality finished product, the real point behind building a kit is to challenge one's self a bit. That means you might have to stop and start over at some point, or seek some help. Without that happening occasionally you are unable to learn. We here at Bottlehead understand this, as I am of a nature to take on something I've never done before on a regular basis. Lots of times I fuck up the first time. And maybe the second time, too. But I usually stick with it until I get it. That's an integral part of learning and growing, and certainly not a good reason not to try something. Typically, the more challenging the project is the higher the reward is at the end.
