@cemetary: It's actually ~3.5mm thick. I use the same material and setup in the Jato and am still using the same spur as when I got it and I've run it dozens and dozens of times with no issues. So, if there is any flex, it's very minimal. Besides, the motor is shorter (less hanging off the back) and lighter, so there are far fewer stresses on the mount, even when landing from a jump.

@BP-Revo: Don't let the UBEC sway your decision! Sure, it adds a little extra wiring, but not too bad if routed right. Besides, you could get a high turn motor on 4s and have tons of runtime even with only a 1p setup. I'm going 2s mainly for the size of the cells and the weight. The BEC part is secondary really.

@green24: BP is right, ~$275 for the "pro" kit which comes with the F/R ends assembled. You just have to assemble the shocks and servo area. It doesn't come with any electrics (servo, receiver, etc) and no motor. Perfect for BL conversion! :) The RTR will come with just about everything to run, but will have fewer of the hop-up parts pre-installed - like the CF servo area, upgraded chassis, etc. Only the pro kit is out right now and even then they seem to be a bit hard to get a hold of. My LHS said that Ofna should be shipping the next batch if they haven't already.

BP: let me know how that LMT works for you. I am just using the MM 4600 for now to see how it runs and how much power it has/needs. It should run quite cool since this will weigh about the same as the Jato (using the same motor/ESC/voltage) but not go as fast.
