johnny.. when i spoke with steve today while looking at the R3.. he said the R3 only comes with a 2.5mm lower chassis.. so the xenon stage 2 is thicker. BUT steve also said the chassis on the R3 is woven in a different fashion. so im assuming that makes up for the .5mm difference?

also the R3 has the batteries moved forward even more than a Xenon Stage 2 bottom chassis. about .5mm more from a visual estimate.

The R3 chassis is propably using a much better weave, I'm guessing it has cross weaves as well as the normal side/side, front/back.

Anyone know the part number for the graphite bumper support for the R2? I think it's actually for one of the earlier Alex cars but works on the R2.

I know Square made one, but I think it was discontinued.

R2, R3, R? I'm very much happy with my Xenon R2 Cuda...very doubtful that I get another car for a while.

It's made by Square RC... unfortunately it has been discontinued. no HS overseas has them anymore. Should have bought a handful while I had the chance.
