Thanks for the kind words fellas. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy the car was to drive considering the chassis was finished the night before 
With a car like that, it was a really fun run. That being said, Duy was really in another time zone. Sometimes you're the bug and other times your the windshield. His motor and chassis homework resulted in raising the bar in terms of fast laps for 17.5 at the Tamiya track with a 13.4 and averages in the mid to high 13s. That's insanely fast and his runs were impressive.
I was geared at 3.56 with an R1 motor and battery. I was originally planning on running a Reedy Mach 2 and TP battery at that ratio, but Steve from R1 works was gracious enough to lend me a few goodies to test. Thanks Steve for the rocket fuel. Holy crap it was fast
Here's a photo of the car before the main:

So is this chassis what the TB03R was or will they be releasing a R version of the TB04?

Please tell me the pro kit comes with the parts needed for the IFS. I just looked at the manual and it does not show that option in the assy.

What a beautiful looking car!! I almost bought a used 417x, but for the same price I think I'm going to put this for x-mas!!! Car looked fantastic on the track and what a show you guys put up during the main. Can't wait to get one
I would want this for usgt, is 47 the max pinion you can fit without hacking the mount?

As an addendum, I ended up grinding away all of the material (the thin lip in previous photos) on the aluminum motor spacer to accomodate motor shaft play that some motors had.
