I paid €110 on pre-order + €15 Euro shipping from HK.
I've
never stripped a belt on my 511 and I got it on pre-order back when it was released. As for the rest I think Rich sums it up well...

Thanks Rich good to know about the front brace (lol - mine is mangled from the local 1/8 track anyway!), looks like you're using the alu steering base (as am I) - the upgrade manual refers to the stock plastic one which is a totally different shape so I'm hoping the Hop-Up doesn't need to be filed.

The kit has been developed with team driver feedback to optimise the car for lipo use. Remember the car was designed with NiMh cells in mind. The chassis is narrower and it generally places the weight nearer to the centre. Diff design is improved to prevent dirt ingress aswell as the change in pulley size. Rear (front) suspension pivots are also included. The Diff outdrives include flat surfaces to prevent diff slip that sometimes occurs on high grip surfaces.
