That's What I was told at my LHS today...then maybe I have it by the weekend...or next weekend. Can't wait
So since we race Carpet Spec 17.5 here, I should be looking to get a discontinued laydown kit, but the spec racer has a chassis that is lightened, so by going that route I would be loosing on a lightened chassis, correct?
Any chance a lightened laydown conversion kit is in the works? or maybe the chassis in the spec is setup so it can use the laydown transmission from the get go?

Absolutely lame question but I can't keep my aerial tube from falling out if the hole, tightened the grub screw as far as possible although it just spins near the bottom
What am I doing wrong?

Are you talking about the antennae tube and screw? The screw usually just bites a little into the plastic on the side of the tube. I have tried some aftermarket tubing that was slightly smaller in diameter, which didn't bite or hold as well. You may be able try a different brand of tubing, or use something like shoe goo to help assist (don't worry, shoe goo can be taken off later if desired). You might even be able to coat the outside of the tube with some super glue (or tire glue) to build up the surface area and make it larger, enabling the grub screw to dig in a little more. Hope some of this helps, if I understood your question correctly (and there are no lame questions).

Wonder if I've over tightened it and it's damaged the actual housing some how???

Don't tighten the screw all of the way to the bottom. Most tubes have the wire inserted in the bottom so you have a small gap between the start of the tube and the chassis. So if you tighten the screw all of the way down then it might not be making enough contact to keep the tube in place.

Here is a link to it. If you need a picture of it on the receiver I can get you one.
