The new version is supposed to be out around dec/jan. As far as parts needed to convert, they will be selling an upgrade kit im guessing released the same time as the car that includes everything you need.

Aluminum chassis isn't the Evo std (unless something has changed). Likely to just be an option part.

Anybody try the spur gear cushion mount system? If so, what difference did it make?

Its a very nice upgrade. Takes the initial shock from hard throttle inputs out of the system by dampening things just a touch. I've been running it from day 1 in mod and it holds up very well.
