RE: Anyone have experience with any of these?
I'm a fan of 3racing parts; good customer service too (sent me replacement ball screws when my mini-t shock tower came with bad ones). Not a fan of atomic parts - I had a couple of bad fits and their customer service is lousy in my experience (wouldn't ship me some CVD pins - I just asked for the pins! Said I had to ship the whole thing back to HK and then they'd see if the failure was my fault or not...lame).
Of the aftermarket shocks, I think 3racing are the best. I have them on my KMI and so far they've been holding oil very well. I think they're the only mod company that sells shock rebuild kits too.
3racing and atomic aluminum parts seem pretty well-built - nicely machined and pretty beefy. Atomic sells an adjustable center diff for the KMI which is a must have (stock gears don't mesh well with anything after market).

RE: Anyone have experience with any of these?
I have the buggy, not the ST. The ST, like the ARR buggy, comes with better, sealed front and rear diffs, oil-filled shocks, and some other good stuff. I like my KMI better than all my other minis, but it needed the most work to get it running well (was the slowest out of the box too). It's easily the heaviest, but also the most stable and the center diff does wonders for handling.
