Tech Regular
Followed a bit of thsi thread as I find the Cuda R2 a very intriguing car and am considering getting one. I saw some posts with regards to a "web special" with regards to the Cuda and I am curious what exactly this kit is and where it can be obtained? Curious from any that run the Cuda on tight Ozite indoor tracks with rubber what they think of the cars handling.

Well if you had noticed .. the shock body is rather long and when you compress the shockall the way..it hits all the way when the chassis is touching also....so running the shorter bodies will allow the rear to have more travel when the chassis is lower... hence the car doesn`t get crudy handleing when the cshock is compressed..
I have this done to all my R2`s
a must do if your serious...
