Heh, I use feet & inches or mm & cms depending on what Im measuring & what the original units of measurement were.
Admittedly, it is the traxxas forum noobs who buy the KD chassis, but like I said, if they are willing to spend that much money on a chassis that looks like mechano & is made of sub-standard metal, there has to be a market for better quality chassis at a similar or slightly smaller price point- there definitely is for the erevo though, due to the limited room for batts on the stock chassis. Mike really does need more elves...
I like the savox servo alot- its fast and plenty powerful, centers pretty much perfectly, and the price is great. For something 10lb or less I think it'd make a great servo, though I have turned up alot of similar options for a decent budget servo with metal gears:

Several happy customers using some really dirt cheap servos which perform great- beats paying $300 for a hitec at any rate..
