Lee's car was sent to him by Yokomo. You can do it yourself. It's not difficult. Or wait for the official Yok one.
There's quite a few pictures in the Yokomo section. This is mine.

Standard motor layout is this: Disco has drilled his kit alloy chassis, I made a carbon one: My carbon chassis is a bit flexible compared with the kit alloy chassis. I've been running mostly at RHR astro and have the saddle car working as I want. Not had enough time to get the setup right with the carbon chassis. It was very bouncy on the rear with the damper setup I had, 2x 1.6 piston/400cst, then tried 2x 1.7/350c, with a range of AE BB springs tested. Too much pack I thought. Not had time to go back and test more, and I kept the car setup how I know it works for the regional/oople meetings I've had. One thing I did notice is that the shorty 4200mAh packs did not last too long on the track before performance drops off, compared to the 5800/6000mAh HPI/Orca saddle packs I use. It was certainly noticeable. Yes my shorty packs are hobbykings, but they perform fine in 2wd. I've not tried with "better" shorty packs, but I expect similar. My saddle car is a heavyweight at 1919 grams, the shorty conversion shaved a good 200g off this. I like the heavy car, it's safe and suits me. I'll probably have another go with the shorty chassis after I've done my regionals. I'm interested to see some setups from the coming Euros on clay. I suspect they will be putting more weight into the shorty car.

The one from the CML link isn't out yet. You'll have to wait a few more weeks.

I suspect there will be a V2 kit out sometime after with the conversion chassis in the box?

I don't know if any of the other upgrades (e.g. carbon stuff, shock caps etc) will be included as well.
