The only thing I see I want right now are the 1 piece shock caps.

I will remain on the fence for awhile. I just get a WC a couple of months ago. I might look into getting one over the winter for next spring.

Also, pricing worries me. The WC is already a $349 @ AMain. How much is this one going to cost?

That's not true, according to the TLR website, the 22 wheelbase is 284-288mm, the RB6 wheelbase is 285mm

I think he was referring to the overall length.

I'm in the same boat, just built mine a couple months ago and just installed the ncg arms last weekend. I love this car and its hard to imagine anything much better. I'm excited to hear how it compares.

I'll probably keep my WC for running the occasional indoor track around here. They are small, tight and technical and a long car is not as good as a short one. I will just swap electrics back and forth.
