I told you before, STOP TEASING!!!

ImGoinRCn- are you running mod? if you're just running stock then the alloy shaft holders should be enough to stop spur stripping, atleast let spurs last a while you have to take time building the car though.

i actually found that moving the spur to the inside of the holder(closest to the center of the car) actually stops stripping alot in stock racing anyway havent tried my car in mod yet but it does mean you have to trim the rear battery bolder thing i just cut mines in half and used velcro to hold my batteries down

yeah that can help but I'm using the alloy battery strap so it's a no go for me now. I haven't had too much problem with Kimbrough gears since they are nice and wide, will hopefully have a better set of spur gears eventually though, should let the pinion sit further onto the motor shaft, be nice and light and have a wide meshing area, aswell as being precision machined

The Web version is a very Rare item now...I have seen a few in Tokyo at some of the shops I go to...but that was 2 weeks ago...and they cost some major coin!!!!

-Dave

You could only get the Web version through ALEX Racing Japan`s home page...what a few shops in tokyo did was order them for the Store which is a Big No no in ALEX`s book...
but they still have 2 left..


# 63 and 64

550$ is quite is bit of Cash

-Dave

BTW R/C Champ tokyo has them...but Speed Tech has the R2 in regular form
also Alex is selling the Web Chassis today so you can have the same version...just not in Orange

$550

but the orange looks so nice...

and seeing that the web version is close to being fully hopped up??? that is why it is so tempting. yet, the price is throwing me off. where i'm from ordering parts shouldn't be a problem.

decisions, decisions.

anyone want to trade for an Evo III???

Thanks again
