In case anyone is interested...

Here is a video of the truck chassis selected by one of the coaches who knows way more about RC cars than I do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHIiyA-s7sI

We got the unassembled version, so students will have the joys of building everything, right down to pressing in bearings and greasing up gears. The complete CAD model of the chassis is available through HPI, so replacement parts will be machined out of plastic or aluminum in-house and upgrades (arduino? BB RS540/encoder back-shaft?) can be modeled and built exactly to fit.
