I am. I really want to love this car, but I am having difficulty.
I built the car in the rearward motor position and using shorty batteries, so I don't know how it would handle in the forward position or with saddles. I've tried both the kit chassis and CF low-grip and I favor the heavier chassis for more stability in mod and the CF for its light weight in stock. Traction is insane and it turns like a dream! Honestly, I've never driven a car as hooked up as this one.
Unfortunately, this car sits so low to the track (average ride height 20mm or less) and with very little droop. I find this makes the car very unforgiving when not all four wheels are in contact with the track. I run the rear shocks inward top and bottom to get as mush droop as possible and this helps a bit. However, in this position a bad crash is likely to have the bones pop out of the diff halves.
The price for a new kit may seem steep, but consider all the CF and aluminum it comes with the price isn't terrible. There are a few upgrades available that are "probably" necessary for offroad. I say probably because I installed the upgrades as I built the kit, so I couldn't say how it handled box stock. I would suggest the ball diff, rear facing shock mount, front and rear aluminum camber mounts for more tuning options, and the low-grip CF chassis if you're interested in saving weight. I would not recommend the MIP pucks. There is virtually no sloop in the drive train because it is belt driven. The sloop between the bones and diff halves are so minimal I don't thin kit justifies spending the money on the pucks.
Like I said, I love this car, but I'm not a very good driver. I need something that is more forgiving.
I hope this helps...

The KR driveshafts U4069 are longer so you can run more droop without fear of them popping out of the outdrives.

Ran my KF2 for the first time tonight. Loose would be an understatement. If I stayed online then it was drivable, get off the line and it's like I was working at Dunkin Donuts! Got some work to do sorting it out. Chief of which is my trigger finger. If I got on the power smoothly it was very drivable.
