Not sure I agree with that, as most of the R&D has already been done with the DNX. The only parts that are different are the chassis, spur gear, centre shafts and plastics for the electronics, the rest is the same. The only reason that the cost will not be reduced is the lower production runs of some of the components, but in the big picture all of these kits are low production volumes.
