Thanks man :) I like it a lot. Its a great platform as there are so many things you can do to mod it.

As far as the KD stuff goes, from what I've seen (like their DD kit and my motor mount) their machining is just ok. The stuff works, but the finish is rough and they do some weird things as a short cut.

IDK how the chassis is. My mount looks like it was just on a waterjet or something and never polished. After I polished it it looked nice tho.
1/5th scale is very cool. However the bodies are $$$. Something to keep in mind.
I saw a thread over on Savage Central where someone was trying to get a group buy in for a 2" ext savage arms (for a 1/5th scale build.) Jamie would build them, but needs a min order of 10 for the custom work. Looks cool. Perhaps I should post the thread over here and see if there are people here interested. I shouldn't spend anymore money...but it looks very tempting... :)
