This simplifies the whole process a lot and cuts down on the number of parts needed.

That sucks about the MMM, my two year old one did the same thing a month or so ago. AT leats we don't have to pay full price for a new one.
I wonder how the stock lst cups will hold up compared to the rcmonster cups?
The rcmonster cups have double the surface area for the dogbone pins to ride on which should mean both the dogbone pin and the cup should take approx. twice as long to get the same amount of slop or wear on them as the lst diff stock cups.
I was running the extended arms but I kept having the little cross member on the upper arms snap in two. So I have gone back to my old rpm arms. I don't care for how flexy they are on one hand but on the other I don't have to worry much about breaking them and at this point thats more important to me than a slightly longer wheel base or precise suspension.
