I like the mounts being on the bulkhead, especially with them being bolted from the outside now. It's cheaper/easier to change kickup/toe/rollcenter in minute amounts with this method rather than having to carry around a bunch of different arm mounts. I always hated that on my Cyclone. I'll take a $6 set of plastic mounts/shims over a $60 set of blocks any day. I've only had an issue with a bent bulkhead on my TC5 once, and that was because it lost all of it's support when one of the lower screws on the chassis backed out. Would you rather replace a bulkhead, or a complete chassis like early adopters of the Xray T3 had to?

One thing I wish they would have done however, is to move the aluminum insert from the plastic block to the bulkhead itself. That way a screw pulling out would only strip the threads in the small insert and not the bulkhead itself.
