The stock body is great if you're a master driver who NEVER wrecks.
I said from the moment it was announce that it was a 3-piece design that it would not hold up sadly it seems and I was right. Everyone at my track running the 413 has cracks all over their lids where those tiny screws hold the side pods to the cabin. This method has been in use in RC for as long as I can remember and its great while it holds together, but lexan isn't the most durable of substrates, a even less so with a small hole out towards the edge.
For what it's worth though, it is one gorgeous and superbly designed lid!
What you guys can do to make it more durable is use to shoe goo and mesh at those seems so the load doesn't fall on the screw points.

I do like the "look" of the kit body. But it sits lower and can make wiring a little more of a pain. But the kit body "looks" the faster sitting on the wall before the race, lol.
