I think thats the route that they are going.?? ..not 100% sure.. but I can"t wait to try it out...Since you all know that I am a ALEX Racing Nut
But my Xenon Chassis and the PAL A-specs are quite hooked right now....and the Web Chassis was on rails last week ... kind of a shame that I have to sell some more soon

-Dave



the Nex to go will be a Red Web R2 with Square goodies and a Drive system

Well wouldn't that make it a Red R2 with reversed chassis and motor mount
Or with a PAL conversion chassis...

Would only be a Red Web R2 if you got a full Orange Web R2 reanodized to red but that would be a little silly wouldn't it?........

LOL, I see the change of sig
It was a Red PAL A-Spec before
The Web special was a limited production, hence it's Special Edition status

Jeez, I must be bored to be arguing this kind of rubish maybe I should be rebuilding my Cuda.... nah I'm bored but it's also almost 6am and my tools are in my car It's going well anyway, just the bearings need a good clean out, the job thats a right pain because so much of the car needs stripping

Also need to paint up a new shell, the Alfa 2.0 is looking very dog eared now Got another Alfa 2.0 but no nice paints, didn't want to go buying more rattle cans at the moment.....
