Luckily I don't have sailors delivering my mail

Just got three new things for my Cuda ok they're just pinions but they will hopefully make things quieter and be very easy on the spur not too mention as light as you're going to get, coz every milligram counts

just need to find a smaller allen key though they use a smaller hex in the grub screw than all my other pinions silly american sizes

i think the r3 comes with a new drivesystem, which uses an inputshaft in front, just like a tc3.
i doubt that this input shaft can be secured by just one bearing
just like, u cant make a wheel hub for only one bearing...

Well like I said..before...the R3 will use the same style imput shafts as the PAL drive system that also uses a dogbone style drive shaft and it works just fin when I use the R1 shaft holder in the rear on my R2..also the R3 that I test drove also had the R1 in the rear

BTW have a look at the pic

Talk with Steve at Speed Tech... He should be able ot pre-order them now.. and they are going to be the same price in Japan as the R2..... so that means that Speed Tech should sell them for about the same price too
-Dave
I'll definately get in on the first pre-order, but I'm gonna wait a lil bit, still spending on the STi

just need to find a smaller allen key though they use a smaller hex in the grub screw than all my other pinions silly american sizes
You propably need to pick up a .050 allen wrench for em
