3Racing seems to have solved this problem with a 1-piece upper deck, in SG or regular CF colours.. it eliminates the whole link of bolts in the rear end, saving a bit of extra weight.

And, there's always the Flap version coming out, in all its Blue glory, albeit likely more expensive for it..

The Penguin R/C TA05 graphite conversion kit that is coming out should be pretty trick. We should see this conversion kit available soon as it is in the final testing stages.
