Will it not save money? The RPM ball cups will help stop lost dog bones, which was happening all event, will cost a fiver if that. Team Dudley actualy had no issues with ball cups, but I know other teams were ripping hair out. We can scrap the UJ's idea if need be, they do look a tad expensive to be fair, and they may actually fail sooner than dog bones on reflection. We know that 2 sets of Axels will last the race so maybe stick with them. Aluminium Hex's would help with frequent wheel changes the new tyre rules will bring. The plastic hexs come quite deformed as new, camber changes as you rotate the wheel, sometimes by 3-4 deg. Other than that, this car was a very good choice for the event.

Even without any changes , I'm sure I would enjoy another round of the same. The only thing I will strongly back is brushless but only if its near the pace of the Saturn 20T, I wouldnt want anything much quicker and it doesnt cost the earth. The prices discussed earlier sounded good.
