  • MM parts
  • MM Shell
  • Ball diff
  • CVDs
  • u4616 aluminum upper trans for rear mounted shocks or a molded piece that permits rear mount
  • Updated manual with base setup similar to what they published for Michal's Euros car

This all comes to about $650 by my calculations using DRC's prices. You end up with an extra shell but otherwise you have a car that can be configured to run extremely well in just about any situation you'll encounter. But most people probably race at one particular place most often and will likely find most of the other parts redundant.

If they could get the MM optimized configuration in the upper 300's just like it is now I think they could start moving a lot of kits here. The B5M Factory Lite @ $279 is a fantastic car right out of the box so the competition is very tough and they will need to have some marketing angle that justifies the extra cost.
I agree 😁
