Just flicking thro the instructions (I haven't checked all the parts yet)
1. VDS shell
2. Foam tires
3. Front anti-roll bar
4. Rear anti roll bar
5. Front one-way
6. Large VDS bumper and mounts
7. Large rear body mounts (Rear gearbox cover and inner turnbuckle is changed)
8. Blue centax clutch
I think that is all the differences. You should have most of the options already Manticore!

The rear body mount is a little strange. They have not changed the rear hubs but have change the inner plastic ballend of the rear turnbuckle. Thats were the loading from the mount goes down to the hubs! I guess it does the same job, but would be cheaper for Kyosho to change molds.

The mounting block for the front roll bar appears to be plastic (I haven't found the parts yet). This would be ideal for replacement to alloy because the loading on the holes would probably distort the plastic fairly soon.

Yes, I just found the front roll bar mounts.. they are plastic
But good news is that they are part of the same plastic tree as the rear floating mount. So if you by that you effectively get the roll bars free (providing you can find the metal bars of the roll bar)!

The K-factory support looks really cool. It replaces the two rear upper deck support and it bridges the support from the upper deck to the rear gearbox on the left hand side. It even has a middle belt tension built in! I thing I forgot to ask Uncle Chan was whether I can still install a rear exhaust engine... oops! Can you help Manticore? (Also the price is very reasonable!!!!)

Looks like my "spur of the moment" descision was correct! I figured it will cost me more to upgrade my stock VoneR. Better to sell the old car and offset the cost of the RR!

dtm: uncle chan is the owner of (good view) ? i bought my kit there...
i think the K-factory support will work with rear exhaust coz they used it on the Reflex... the pic showed a Rear exhaust engine.
