I bought one yesterday from TimezoneRacing.
I can't wait to start building it when I get home from work today.
I've been running the thinner chassis up untill recently. In low to medium grip conditions, the thinner chassis gives the car more a more aggressive feel and shifts the handling balance more towards the front of the car (which I like!). Its more of a dig in really aggressively and rotate feel rather than rolling through the corner.Though, In higher grip conditions it's a little too flexi and gets a little inconsistent and harder to drive.

The kit chassis is very good, and still is the best starting point in my opinion. If your track is asphalt or lower bite carpet, I'd say give the thin chassis a shot after you give the kit chassis an honest go.
