This is some info I posted earlier on rctech:
Prior to running the evo kit I had been running a home made conversion of the S104 and this home made conversion had the motor in the back and the esc behind it.
From my experience with the EVO kit 2 weeks ago I can tell:
- the slipper system was very tight in the build(even without shims the bearings from the slipper were really really tight in the alu slipper mounts. This however was freed up after some lipo's totally and is now good
- it handles more or less the same as my own made conversion (Rear weight bias about 53%)
- wear to the center driveline(pins and outdrives) is considerably less on the EVO kit(this alone is a reason for going to the evo!!!)
- if you go down the shorty route, the vented slots in the chassis are in the wrong place; they should make a separate chassis for shorty IMO or just drop the vented slots.
- the Kyosho lazer body is a very good fit on the evo as well ;-)
