cadillac,
The SE option parts are mostly red bling with the addition of a alumiminum pipe and header. To me, bling is a catch-22 if it doesn't really help the performance, but I was informed that I could get the bling. Quite frankly, the plastic reminds me a lot of the KMI and I have beat the heck out of my brushless KMI with very little problems. If it is in fact built like the KMI, it should hold up without the bling. After all, I don't have all that red bling on my 1/8th scale buggies.
bigmike,
That's why I wrote the original post the way I did, mentioning the pull start.
ABU,
It is a cooling head for the stock KMI electronics.
