Doesn't make sense to convert all of their existing componentry to metric just to satisfy the SAE haters. Think of the nightmare that would create in the spares market "do you need the metric or SAE bulkhead, a-arm, bolt, etc." would be heard in hobby shops everywhere. And do you think they could offer it at the same price as the old one if they retooled every component to use metric fasteners? Heck no!
Associated is SAE on all of their current 1/10 offerigs except the SC10 4X4. I enjoy the commonality of components and fasteners between my 4 AE vehicles.

I don't care if it's metric or SAE personally. Just make more of the damn bolts the same freaking size so I don't have to have 12 allen wrenches out on the table while I'm trying to work on the car. Is that too much to ask????? Reduce the number of different size tools needed- metric OR SAE. Or go back to phillips head screws.

In fact, my B44.1 doesn't even use that rare one, so it's actually 3. The B44.2 should be the same.
Wait, it is, on those two metric screws that hold my motor to the cam.

I don't think I've ever read a post from anyone swinging so hard from any one company on such a short rope and I'm NOT joking
