I appreciate your response and I agree with your opinion about HPI's decision to discontinue this chassis. I have raced mine as well, all of last year's indoor season, and have only broke one part before upgrading the bumper to eliminate any other breakage and to save my bodies. I took it back to the track last week to stretch its wheels and everybody was impressed. I just don't run the mini class at my track and I hate to see this thing just sit on the shelf looking pretty. But, if no one here is interested, I'm OK with leaving it on the shelf for a while.
