I'd trust Storm here. I took his advice at the track this weekend and slapped the old front end on my rev 3 and the car was much easier to drive, and my new style front end is probably built as perfect as you can (but I did have a bad servo saver that was causing all sorts of strange problems). If I run the new style, I literally have to check the camber and shim angles after every run. It tweaks very easily. Its a straight bolt-on, uses the same holes and same servo holes.
Speedmerchant sells a full front-end kit for like $20. I think you can get it at their website or hobbyetc.com.
Also, the rev 3 is near bulletproof. The only thing I have ever broken (yet!) on this car is one front a-arm, and a few Jaco wheels. I hit more than my share of walls... Storm can attest to that!
