My bad!
Thanks for the clarification. As it turns out, I already have the reinforced version of that tree. I'll tear into the car this weekend and do the upgrades; we'll see if it helps. I'll also put the spool in the front.
Will keep you posted...

I don't have an TB-03R. Does anybody know the release date?
Inquiring minds want to know!

That makes at least two inquiring minds.

I've holding off on buying a TB03 hoping this was coming along. Now I just have to wait for the actual release.

It would be nice to know what goodies they will supply in the kit.

[QUOTE=SoCalGuy;6900741]1) 2) I also have the Mamba Max Pro with the 5700 motor. Also fits fine and works great. Granted, I just finished the build and have only run it a few times, but I don't foresee any issues.

SoCalGuy, What gearing are you running?

Not knowing any better, started out with the stock gearing. Ran about 10 minutes or so on a 2S, 4000mah Lipo. Car was real quick, handled great, and motor stayed relatively cool. Couldn't be happier

What do you guys think the bracket over the rockers is going to do? Besides that and all the aluminum (if included) whats so different?

I have the same question on the bracket.Will this keep the linkage from flexing during hard cornering speeds?
Why didn't they include the blue alum. rockers and alum drive shaft!
The only plus to me would be theTRF shocks and universals all around vs. the stock dogbone type! I can't tell if it includes the blue wheel hex, which is a must for any application. A little disappointed to say the least but still waiting on the release date and street price!

The brace is for reducing flex at the cantilever pivot points.

AND..... On the TB03 "R" I can't help but to say;

"I told you so!" (Nearly 8 months ago)
