amain just got a ton of parts in. Many parts have been on backorder forever but most are back in. Unfortunately the axles are not.

So not only is the kit $460ish, but now we will need to cough up more money for additional items no matter how small (for ex- 40w shock oil, 3 hole pistons, springs, and they don't even include cheap allen wrenches)

Dunno if I could agree since I haven't put the car on the track yet. But the differences I've noted so far are:

Pro setup vs standard
1) Shock piston - pros seem to use the slightly thinner 1.1mm thickness piston with 3 holes vs 1.2 mm x 2 holes
2) Shock oil - 40 wt vs 30 wt
3) Droop - 8.5 mm vs 6 mm
4) Front shock mount - #3 vs #5 position
5) Rear shock mount - #3 vs #6 position
6) Front toe block - 1.5/2.0 vs 2.5 degrees
7) Front drivetrain purple spacers - 1 mm vs 1.5 mm
8) Front hinge pin spacers - various vs .75mm/2mm
9) Rear hinge pin spacers - various vs .75mm/2mm
10) Rear diff - gear diff vs ball diff
11) Front springs - pink vs gold

So from above, at minimum we'd need to additionally buy 1, 2, 6, 10 and 11... Seems like quite a bit of changes to me!

I'm just saying that for the $$$ spent, I think they should have at least included the damn pink springs, 3 hole pistons, additional purple spacers, 40 wt shock oil and front toe blocks.

I'm surprised that the kit came with double sided sticky tape!

What are those two pieces mounted to the rear shock tower in the last two pics? Car looks nice. I need of that CF tape to put on my servo, looks good.

Anybody found the stock wishbones to be brittle? I broke one front and two rears last night. The front was totally my fault, but the rears were a light brush on a track marker and they broke at the inner hinge pin holes.
Is there a more flexible alternative avaliable?

If by wishbone you mean suspension arms, then go with the Cyclone/Pro 4 carbon graphite:

In some cases, you might have to tweak your setup a bit when using these arms.

There isnt alot of material for the hingepin to go through i agree, so especially in a light brush (i find these the worst crashes) leading to a sudden yank on the suspension from a wheel catching the corner, they dont have much chance.

As said above, if your going though them, then best bet is to try the PRO 4/Orginal Cyclone wishbones, they are alot beefier allround then the TC/TCX ones. Though i guess they change the geometry?
