Wow... I still have the original Mission Carbon with a bunch of options (alloy bulkheads, steel drive shafts, front one way, etc.) but is basically not drivable since it's missing some parts and the bottom plate, bearings, and other pieces are fairly worn out.
What if I buy the kit (only $165 at amainhobbies or is it cheaper somewhere else?) and build it using some of the decent options from my original Mission? As I see it, the performance for the price is hard to beat and from my experience, the Mission is very durable.
For $100+ more, I could get the Xray T3R, but I'm not sure of its durability and I don't know if I can utilize its full potential.
Please keep posting your findings on the updated Mi1
