2 - no one is probably not entirely accurate

I might be the only guy excited that you can build either nitro or electric with this kit. Will probably pick one up as an electric and then retire it to a nitro buggy when it gets outdated for fun/bashing/track driving.

Hard to say without knowing the actual figures; but I'm assuming w/the current costs of shipping/containers, that boxing two-in-one will actually work towards keeping the MSRP lower, rather than the opposite.

My kit comes tomorrow! Excited. Got everything but a steering servo, so it's getting a banggood special until the 6280 comes in.

Assuming the side guards are the reason the 8XE Body won't fit correctly on the 2.0 ?

It's here! Of note - you get four of the plastic spacer pictured for the front end. You only need two, and it's real easy to miss in the instructions. They go on the outdrive side of the hinge pins on the front end (pictured installed).
Second note - kit packs a 2.3 bar, latest setup sheet wants a 2.4, so use the one from the option bag.
