I am going back and forth back and forth on this:
1) upgrading a RC8B roller with a lot of spares I just picked up off of RCTech for $270
or
2) buying the new RC8.2 $520 @ Amain
I am leaning toward just upgrading the roller I just got with the following parts:

(I really like the RPM A-ARMS)

RPM Front Lower A-Arms (Black)

One question I do have for now is: With the longer 3mm chassis, do I need a center drive shaft to compensate for the longer chassis? If so what is the part number???
more questions to surely follow.....
