Haha, I bought a spool and hub in anticipation of it having a ball diff. I guess I'll throw them in the spare parts box.

lol...If you think that is screaming, you obviously didn't see the wreck over there...

From what has been shown, it looks like there are some really cool and interesting new features...I'm just anxious to see it together, considering cars are expected to be shipping soon...

Why don't 1/12 kits locate the body mounts on the upper arms where this kit has the body supports, i.e. floating mounts? Would it not place the downforce directly to the wheel and allow you to get the body to the lowest possible ride height 100% of the time without worrying about contacting the racing surface? Is unsprung mass the issue (I don't think with how rudimentary these front suspensions are it would be?)? I don't quite understand why 1/8 on-road kits for example use them for the rear body mounts but not the front.
