Has anyone experienced inadequate quality issues with RTR vehicles?

I don't know how many cars they produce, but for that money I'd expect them to be stored under cover.
My rotors don't look like that after 8000km

Agreed, the car I traded in 2023 Hellcat Challenger never even saw a cloudy day lol. Garage kept and off the road after first chance of snow until after cinders clear from roadway in Spring. Not my DD.

My

Looks like they drove it around in a salty parking lot

thoughts exactly.

Unfortunately I have had a large amount of issues with my Spec 3, but it is currently at Fox being fixed. If you reach out to Jaron, he is very responsive and will get you in touch with the appropriate people to settle your claims. The rusting is common and my rotors are also rusted. It depends on how the dealership stored your car and how long it sat. The issues you’re describing are honestly more Mustang/ ford dealership related, not RTR. If you had body kit complaints, paint issues, etc I’d totally understand. Nevertheless, Jaron is a great guy and should be on the forum too. His email is [email protected]
Hope this helps and you can enjoy your ride

Thanks for the information. Someone from RTR called me today and I am hoping they have some influence to get the issue resolved.

I have a '24 Spec 2 and it has a mysterious thumping sound from the undercarriage when driving on moderately rough road surfaces. Annoying. Have checked undercarriage for any loose components that could be moving around, no joy. Anyway, I didn't realize what a bath you took on the depreciation for non-manufacturer modifications. All in all, I still love it and will keep it until the loss isn't such a gut punch. As long as you're not having any major malfunctions, I would just drive and enjoy! Take care Digger047.

Thanks for the reply and thank you for your service!

Thanks for the info.

I have a 24 Spec 2. It has some paint missing where the trunk edge meets the duckbill spoiler. The car sat at the dealer for over a year and doesn’t have any rust like that. It also had 70 miles on it when I bought it.

Hopefully they took care of it for you. Mine had 28 miles and from what I could see on the window srickers it appears that it was purchased by RTR in January 2025 and to the upfitter (FOX) then in June 2025 purchased by Capital Ford in North Carolina. Purchased from Capital Ford Rocky Mount. I've been in touch with RTR and they were going to see what they could do with Capital but said its out of their control and have yet to hear back. Sent emails and calls to the Fox rep for Capital but have yet to receive a reply. Hopefully, this gets resolved.
