If so, then its good news for the JRX-S/R cars and their future, but if not, then I am getting a little worried...It will be nice to know who is at the forefront of Losi's engineering and R&D replacing Gil Losi JR...they couldn't have just left us hanging like that

I would not bag on Losi too much. You have to realize who the parent company is now and what they truely care about.
I still am w/o Type R, but it is sitting in the FedEX warehouse here and should be at my shop tomorrow. I am not in any particular hurry now since my Carpet track closed due to landlord issues. So I have no place to run it this weekend anyhow.
I did how ever get my brand new PDub bumper for it today, so I am set that way. I noticed on the parts list on Horizons site there is no oneway listed at all, is the old one a carry over or just no new one developed yet? I am guessin if the old is a carry over Pooky will be keepin his and Tom will be on his own!!
For those that got their kits, are they still including a center oneway or is it just the center spool and you have to do a front oneway now?

I think Todd designed this whole car pretty much himself.

question, for rubber asphalt, would you reco a protoform mazda 6 (older one) or a ride accord? i remember back during your mid motor days you had a spool with ride accord body set up that was just awesome. these are the two bodies i have access to and i was just thinking which one i should have painted up first?
thanks and congrats on the release! hope the parts come soon!

I would start with a Mazda 6. That body is hard to beat. I feel it has more steering than the Ride Accord.
