Alex Racing Barracuda R2 & R3

So you like the Torx screws then I would use them too if replacements were easy to come by but I also like the Titanium racing 2mm hex head screws, they have a nice sized head that stops the screws from sitting slightly proud of the bottom of the chassis like the kit ones do and even Tamiya titanium ones a little bit. Hopefully I'll have a better quality 2mm driver soon too thanks to Dave, but no thanks to Dave's postie
chkboy5- Talk to Steve at Speedtech if you want to get the conversion, but Randman is right, don't go spending a fortune on hop ups until you've got the car running. Half the reason I will be changing is just because I've given my kit chassis a battering over the outdoor season, the easy access spur is a nice bonus though

at least the gears are easy to change and cost the same as brushes - hahaha

With improvements on the stock drive train and with a less than perfect build, you could end up changing spurs on the Barracuda every run though
Good job we have us here to tell people how to build it properly
Although one person is missing, where are you RBF?

checkboy, I have no problems with my box stock R2. It's an awesome car w/o the upgrades. I will get torx screws and MAYBE the pal upgrade but I run box stock at my track and it is fast and smooth. It took a lot to convince me that I wouldn't find something smoother than my yoke but I was wrong. Run the car and tune it first before you go crazy buying this and that. Even Steve and Dave told me that. They weren't lying. Like i said, I might upgrade down the road but I wanna get a couple of races on the carpet 1st.

I'm thinking about buying either a Barracuda or EVO III SE. Now I know you have both. So which one do you like better?
Both cars have their own problems.
Barracuda:
Need Pal System so the spur dosen't strip. Cost me more $$.
EVO III:
The One-Way strip problem...
