From re-reading most of the tread the main hop-ups to buy are the alloy motor mount and the better friction roll damper?
I've already wasted a ton of spare cash on the scratch-build so trying to get a car and keep the missus on side
The standard RM on outdoor surface is great, kit center & roll shocks are ok
Kit tires are very easy to drive on all surface, option front have more life
