Any news on when the type-R is going to be available in hobby shops

zx12r785

vendetta hobbies got theirs in just yesterday, but think only one or 2 aren't called for yet. And thercproshops order will be In early next week...it would have been here sooner but they added a few other parts at the last minute so it delayed the order a few days...they have a few extra not accounted for yet, but as of yesterday the factory has completely sold out the first batches of kits, and will be about e weeks before more kits are sent out....if you haven't already join the Facebook group "PR racing USA news" it's PR official USA group

I looked through the thread, but I think i missed it. Are there spur gear options outside of the PR ones?

zx12r785

yes PR has 73 to 83 for spurs for all platforms. And some use AE gears, besides the AE pads of course the only thing you'd need to do is ream the center hole just a hair, turn or 2 and should be good to fit.

Someone needs to put a unboxing video or pics of the SB401 type-R on here

rippen...the best place for that is on Facebook, Pr racing USA news group or PR north American drivers group is by far the most active places. But if you don't have face book there is a YouTube video of drake going over the the 401R and key features and his first impressions. You know when he boasts about quality it's some good stuff! I

the build went extremely smooth, everything fit perfectly. No need for trimming or any altercation's needed. And from its very first lap I could tell this was a much improved buggy over the 401-lw. The shocks are super smooth and soaked up the big triple with ease. This buggy will not disappoint, comes with the best options in the box. only option part I used is the aluminum bellcranks. You'll get 2 full sets of springs to help get you dialed in.
