Not intending the above to sound harsh, just my 2p worth.
After seeing pictures i'll reserve judgement til I see one on the track.

The issue I had with the Griffin transmission was that it would not stay tight. To be honest mine was built by Nick Isaacs, and not very well, I did it again myself but with threadlock and never ran it again. How is the new diff?

I agree with what Dan says on the shock tower screws. But I like the wingmounts, if any slop comes with age then surely a peice of lexan under the bodyclips will tighten it up.... but although its made to be fast to change if broke, how easily are they broken?
