That is a great deal. I always enjoyed my .5.
I never really broke any knuckles, but I did break the servo saver a couple times on before I moved the rod to the inner position.
I also have a set of mashers for mine, altho its impossible to keep the F wheels down. One trick I do like with the mashers are to mount them on the TRX 2.8" rims. I cut the beads off, then mount them inside the new rims. Same size, but much less ballooning and a bit better handling.
