Dave :
By looking at the way the suspension arms are mounted (on pivot balls), i'm wondering if the arms have the bad habit of poping out sometime

A friend of mine was in HKG a few days ago and he saw a partly assembled R2 in 1 of the shops there with a 2-speed transmission very similar to an NTC3 (cam type)....intresting.
Would love to see pics, if anyone has 1 please post.
Do you think this would work?? what happens when your batts drop?

I just tore my box of my barracuda apart, and no battery strap.
Steve....is there any way that you would be able to send me a battery strap to replace the one that wasnt in my box?
Thanks

Hey Guys...
The R1 Had a battery strap/holder when it came out.... but the they maid the chassis narrower on the R2 and moved the battery closer to the Drive shaft... ....
..now you'll still be able to use the Alloy Alex strap...but you will need to get mounting posts for it..
Now as for the A-arm balls.. if you can get one of those to come out in a crash your the man
...because I have never seen it done to this day yet!! ....but what you can do is turn the ball upsidedown and put a 1mm shim under the ball head to make up the differance in height ..

.... also the 2 speed came with the Early R2 as a option and the R1 chassis conversion kit!..works rather well but is mor suited for JMRCA 23T stock motors -Dave

Civic91,
If you don't mind, I would like to use that on our website (www.alexracingusa.com) it looks great
Guys, I'm looking into the battery strap issue right now, I'll post something as soon as I can. And also, I'll let you guys know how everything went last night at SoCal Raceway with my "cuda"
Thanks
Steve Wang

So is the missing battery strap a one off or do the kits not come with one?
I may be waiting a little longer for my cuda
aparently it only left CA at 11am today, which is more like 7pm to me

Jeff Werner,
my TBEvo3 is for sale and I am just looking around. This car has a lot of potential. I dont like the camber link pick-up points (only because they are in totaly different positions than Tc3, Losi and TB), but very similar to cars that are only designed for rubber tire/asphalt racing. I am picky!!!! I dont want to spend weeks drilling new holes and custom making pieces to get this thing arond an Ozite track-if you know what I mean!!!
