Matt, I currently run for BCE, and used to run the losi chassis, I had a hand in the designing and testing in them, they work great. I'm pretty sure if you search it I have some bce chassis specific setups posted as well on rctech too.

I tried one on my Losi 2.0 buggy. I've been racing for a fairly long time and have run different cars, so though some may love the frame...I was not a fan of it on my 2.0 and took it off.
It made the car flex more and less predictable to drive. It was also harder to be precise with the car. It wanted to spring off in it's own direction sometimes, especially on rougher sections (instead of just gliding through).
Now maybe I didn't spend enough time with it, but I don't think so.
Personally I'd put my $100 elsewhere.
It is a nice piece of work. However it took forever to receive once I paid, you have to space the center diff up 1mm if you don't want it sticking through the frame and certain screws (battery box tray bolt for the Losi) will have to be shortened. Plus I had to grind the frame for clearance because I was running the optional, adjustable, Losi lower hingepin brace.
It's something to try, but the real magic bullet is to get more tracktime and practice.
I know some people have their reservations about the chassis, I know not everyone can be a fan, but if you had taken the time to set the car up for having a more flexible, stable chassis(which is what it was designed to do, as the losi stock chassis is very stiff) You would have been pleasently surpised. As far as spacing the diff and grinding down on the rear hinge pin brace, yes, you have to, because the losi chassis is 4mm, BCE is 3mm, you do the math, you don't think pro drivers complain about hot off the press hardware because it doesnt fit right away, no, they make it fit, cause they want to go fast. Period.....
Bill has the new machine 99 percent up and working, he is currently in testing phases now, once it is up and running at full capacity, and he can keep up with current demand, wait times will go down dramatically.
Here are some results from last year at the pit when we were still in testing:
