No it's not. The body that comes with the LE Version is the same as the standard body you would have to buy seperately. TRF just calls it "Lightweight Body Version 1". There is no version 2. But plenty of other options on the after market or the Tamiya Zarhawk or whatever it is.
My car has taken an absolute beating, as I haven't raced in years and I'm staging a come back. At St Ives Sydney NSW Australia I had troubles with tripples (say that fast serveral times
), until I got use to them. I'm amazed nothing broke! It's a testement to the car.
At the end of the day, if you don't want to stuff around ordering all the bits and peices, buy the LE Version. You wont be disappointed. I wasn't. the price difference is not huge, the motor mount is not an issue (btw the original is included). The problem is actually the gear cover. The design is flawed. All you need is some electrical tape to cover the gap to create the seal. I have no problems and race on dusty tracks.

P.S. Stella Models is great to deal with. If I had more cash I'd by another 201 LE and Build it for the shelf.
