if you already have the upgraded shocks/ballraces/turnbuckles on your Rat then just use those when you build the mad monkey kit.
If you are not keen on the kit shell colours i can highly recommend the concept racing shell and just paint it as you like.
If you dont like painting (like me) the teamC pre painted shells are really nice and pretty cheap and are a direct fit on the Monkey
