Hello Tim,

Actually we never thought of that but now that I have, there are a number
of reasons. The biggest is the added costs both tooling and labor, we just
took a $40 car and made it into a $70 to $80 car.
To do this, there would be only two orientations of the stakes and perhaps
a multi cavity mold. Then the labor of attaching the stakes either semi
automated or by hand. Since the shell is very thin at the top it would be
extremely difficult to make the peg holes where they wouldn't be seen on the
inside but be enough to hold the stakes firmly. We spent great pains to make
the shell one piece and make the offset interior so adding peg holes just
adds to the complicated mold. Also, there is absolutely no glue or adhesives
on any of our cars so the side stakes would have to be a press fit (pegs
into tight holes).

Have you seen one of these cars yet?
