If all is said and done, to each his own. Just my opinion. I build our buggies and truggies here with Mikes parts, and the people seem to be happy with it. Yes, no slipper (yet) but I sold many cheap Feigaos over the last couple months, and no thrown magnets that I have heard of yet.
The direct-drive monster conversions look pretty factory too. So not even "looks" would be a factor, IMO.

I did mention Mike's conversion in one of my post in this thread, but he did say "Best money can buy". Yes the aluminum chassis does work fine, but my truggy weighs much less then my buggy. I personally don't like the unloading I get from using the center diff. With the power from brushless, it was even hard to get rid of the unloading with thicker diff fluids. Plus the center diff just adds more parts to be replaced. With the solid center, you will have less parts to worry about and you will get the same power to all 4 wheels. Most if not all my vehicles now have the solid center and the Mr. C has the slipper clutch. I got used to driving 1/10 without a slipper clutch.
