True, but whether I will go that route... Bare with me, guys, as I have a very long question. It seems most well priced M-06 Pro kits are gone. I located one in the Netherlands for the euro equivalent of US$ 350. That is kit 58460 only, nothing special. It is listed as discontinued on the Tamiya USA site. And I still have to buy the body. So, I started thinking. Nice kit, the pro, but what do we get extra over the normal M-06 kit with body and ESC:

Item 54179 M-05 Ball Bearing Set Will certainly need that, but cheap aftermarket will do.
Item 53642 5mm Alu. Ball Connector (Blue) I'll get those, just a tenner.
Item 42168 Touring Car Short Spring Set (Black) I have those sets, also for my tt-01 with 50746 dampers.
Item 54000 Hi-Torque Servo Saver (Black) No need, I will use Kimbrough
Item 54121 Alu. Horn for Hi-Torque Servo Saver No need
Item 54195 M-05 Alu. Turnbuckle Steering Rod Nice! But necessary?
Item 54193 M-05 Alu. Steering Post Nice, just 11 bucks for some stability is good.
Item 54192 M-05 Alu. Steering Link At 17 bucks slightly pricy, but doable.
Item 50746 CVA Super Mini Shock Unit Set (Clear) No need, too brittle, will use 50746 anyway.
Item 53539 5.5mm Alu. Spacer Set What are those for?
Item 53456 TA04 Turnbuckle Upper Arm Set I'll get those, just a tenner.
Item 53159 4mm Anodized Flange Lock Nuts (Blue) I think I will survive without...

So basically, if I buy a normal M-06 kit with body set, like the Alfa which I also like (less than the Abarth, but anyway), and I do some hop-ups, I spend just about the same money. Or did I overlook something?

[EDIT]Or should I wait for M-06 Pro version II, any sign of that coming any time soon?[/EDIT]

Cheers,

Hugo
