Hi Guys,

I'm working on another order with Alex Racing and Xenon. I'll bring in more of the Xenon Conversion kit. They have 3 stages:

Stage 1: 3mm lower deck, 2 piece upper deck and motor mount (this requires that you currently have a Pal system already) $110

Stage 2: 3mm lower deck, 2 piece upper deck, motor mount, front and rear input shafts and center shaft (basically the chassis and a complete Pal System) $145

Stage 3: same as stage 2, but comes with front alloy c-hub and rear hub carrier. I don't think too many racers will go for the stage three, so the 1 & 2 is all I plan on bringing in, unless you guys tell me otherwise. I should have all this and more Alex parts in stock by end of next week or the week after.

Steve Wang

The R3 will be a very similar spec to the R2, just with the redesigned chassis and motor mount/drive system. So no alloy shaft holders.
The street price will probably be closer to the R2 price too.

Yup, the pics Dave got show it using R2 shaft holders, the middle holder attached to the motor mount is a little like the R1 holders but melted onto a motor mount of course
