Exactly, that would be great and justifies the price somewhat. IF its only optimized parts, its not.

Well, they kinda dropped the ball on that one. First DCJs as option parts, then they were breaking, then they updated the pins and so on. Time to get it right and put them in the kit (Tamiya offered extra parts in their kits as a promotion, don't know about others).
As far as optimisation goes, I think it may be worth it if they come up with a Yokomo style motor mount (single piece). I would have bought the T4/15 if they did. Now, they have to come with more than that especially if they jack up the price.

Xray do make great cars and they've always been a little bit pricier but this price leap seems strange. Hopefully it's going to be something special to merit the increase.
It'd be nice to see someone do something different. Xray were creative with ARS even if it was a bit hit and miss. Maybe they've something special up their sleeves.

The TRF solution is actually quite neat. It's two sided, with the benefit that gives to strength but contact and fixing points with the chassis are central and even left to right. However then tamiya semi ruin it by not making the chassis symmetrical

Tamiya has them as standard, not as extra parts. They also have the carbon fibre bumper plate as standard. And the car is still cheaper.

And yes, that is the motor mount I was talking about.
Why is it important for me? Because our track is very low grip asphalt and I like my cars soft.

A solid one piece motor mount would take away grip, it may make it tweak less. My BD715 is really good on asphalt when the grip is high but when it's low the Xray's and Schumacher's are a lot better, a guy runs a BD713 when the grip is low, it's awesome in those conditions, especially in the damp and wet

Have thought about a one piece layshaft mount being better, but not actually sure if it would benefit. The mounts on the Xray do allow some movement up and down so they don't 'pinch' the layshaft bearings when the chassis flexes.
