Nice! Yes, like le-manz said, TopCad, Eagle, and some RCRM parts are identical, seemingly made by the same factory and just packaged under different brands. le-manz, if you have the means, I'd be interested to know the weight of your Mini-Z with those parts installed. Some of the part prices on that site seem really high, are Mini-Z parts really that expensive over there?

I have no means of measuring the weight, but if I come across some, sure thing. It seems to have gained quite a bit because of all the metal parts, but it runs a lot straighter compared to out of the box. For races, i'd think i go for the stock motor mount and strip of the side damper, which doesn't seem to do a whole lot. It makes the rear end a lot stiffer for sure, but with a wide carbon H-bar, i'd guess it's the same. Has anyone tested these setups with similar parts?

Yep, the prices are pretty high, probably because the mini-z is just starting to catch on, so there is not a lot of parts coming "to town" from the far east, I'd guess....
