I'm with you Edumakted. A factory team edition with some upgrades would be nice. Personally I dont care if it needs a fan as long as the fan actually works and would be easily replaceable without tearing the whole thing completely apart to get at it. The current case is useless for any kind of long term racing use. One of mine is already falling apart and its only been on the track for 2 race days and 3-4 practice sessions. The thing looks like Frankenstein from all the zip ties and mods I have had to do just to keep it together.
I have already started sketching some ideas up in solidworks for an aftermarket case for this thing. I dont have anything really worth doing yet, but I think I'll be able to come up with something that will be an improvement. Right now I'm trying to keep it all plastic. It may incorporate some of those press fit threaded metal inserts so it can be mounted mechanically. I agree with you, this thing is just a little to heavy to be trusted to only servo tape.

The current version doesnt need to go away. The current version would probably be fine for 75% of the current customers once the bugs are worked out. I think he is saying he wants an option in addition to the current product.
