when I saw the R3 for the 1st time ... I was able to measure the lenght of the drive shaft... and they are the same length(R2 PAL shaft and R3 shaft)
so you might be able to use them.......unless the dog bone end is bigger on the R3..??? who knows

Looking at KO racers cudas there, not a lot of chassis space for electronics or is that just because the GT7 i think i see there is fairly big, can you get a small ko reciever and standard smallish speedo side by side or do you need to pop the recevier on the servo?

Don't worry Dave, just quit your job and serve all our needs instead (Cuda related needs that is, no freaky stuff I know what you guys are like )
