TC5R vs TC5F
Whats the difference?
All i know the only difference is R runs the thinner ITF Upper & Lower Deck.

cool, just wondering if i came across a cheap F.
i could just get the upper IT deck ($20) and a front spool.

R comes with enough parts to build a front diff or slipper spool.
To convert the F diff to slipper spool all you'd need to get would be the slipper pads. Just take out the diff balls and put the pads on the outdrives instead of the diff rings and you're good to go.
If you were to get the F cheap and you want to go R take a look at the Exotek chassis and upper deck rather than buying stock ITF parts.
As was mentioned before the R comes with all soft suspension components. Essentially the same suspension parts (arms, hubs, steering arms, etc) that come with the old Factory Team version.
