man now im leaning toward this car instead of the sd

... but will part support continue for this car or after couple month will it all disappear?

Seems like Speedtech is pretty dedicated to parts support, I dont think it's going to die down at all, if anything, it will get better. And like I've said, I sold the SD because you need parts support, the R2 seems to be much more durable.

Steve at Speed Tech always makes sure that spare parts are always available...and he trys to get the latest hops ups from Japan for it too..
...this car is here to stay..

Yeah, I am really glad that Steve gets all the parts he can from Japan, makes it really easy to get the best stuff.

is this car really more popular than evo3 n sd in japan?

It`s all about the same between them ...but the Cuda users are now growing..because a lot of the SD users are switching over to the R2....
.. the Japanese Sports man Championship is this up and coming weekend...so it will be interesting to see what car wins this year...last year it was the R1 Barracuda..... now that ALEX has the R2..it should be really interesting to watch..

Does the aluminium shaft holders improve performance? Possibly it could improve drive train efficiency. Could there be other reasons? Are the stock plastic holders good enough for competition?

How do you access pages of a thread that aren't displayed at the top?

Thanks

The alloy shaft holders will improve efficiency by reducuing shaft wobble, so the mesh between all the gears will remain constant and no damage should be done. The plastic holders are fine, you need make sure you build the chassis with no tweak with either shaft holders but it's more important when using the plastic versions. If you're running a modified motor though you would be best to get the Speedway PAL Drive System, this holds the spur gear closely on both sides so that there is no wobble and the spur gear mesh is as accurate as possible, you do have a little more drive train weight and one more bearing to add drag but it's worth the tiny sacrifice.

is there a difference in the handling between the PAL kit and the R2 kit?
