I dont think I have seen anything lamer then that on Ebay.
They basically took the design of the stock 25 chassis and made it longer.
And the price is $150!! Why would anyone in their right mind may $150 for something that cost $20 max to make. Oh and toughness is definitely out the window.

"You can run 1/5 and 1/6 scale truck bodies with these kits."

Oh yeah, I think that's totally worth 150!

And you are going to add what another 5 or so pounds and how fast do you think it will go. Most want to fuss about drive train problems now just think what problems you will have when you add 5 pounds or more with bigger tries WOW.

Maybe that'll be good if you put a insane big block in there, but then again you'd probably have to get different mounts.

Do not care about the one you listed but I do like his LCG CF chassis and the price is the best I have seen on CF.
