The new P12 Evo looks to be more of an evolution of the European, lower traction, car than USA edition car. Is there an updated US version of the P12 coming?

What would the US version bring? I see that this Evo kit already has an aluminum chassis.

Great news, maybe a lower price too since its just a spool instead of a diff. 
Going to list my X12 for sale.

Hmm, I just noticed that Roche made life easier by having separate screw locations for mounting the front bulkhead and lower arm (they don't share same hole like the Xray and Associated do). Nice.
