simini80 - The new spool should take care of most of the spool issues. We find that the alloy drive shafts (U3020 $39.99) are harder to bend than the steel MIP ones (U2151 $44.99). For the last 2 months we have been selling the updated U3020's with stronger CV pins and and a new barrel for better pin support. They are very tough.

Geometry
What about the geometry from the MI3 - will it still be the same as the ECīs geometry or will there be major changes?
especially
-positioning of the shocks (length, angle)
-roll center position
-wheelbase
-width of the lower deck compared to the EC
-weight adjustment (same or new battery position, overall weight distribution)
-.............

Steering block
castor blocks
Arms( New arms will have new holes for sway bars, so old arms might be useless)
ball cups
turnbuckles
shocks
springs
diffs( But like Pw stated earlier, the new MI3 diff will have locked rings which will allow you to run a looser diff without it slipping).

one more small question (due to my poor understanding of mechanics),
how do you change the shock angles on this car?
hehe waiting for pics with the anti-roll bars on it too!
Thanks for the explanations!
