thanks about it... the R2 is just more balanced and stronger...(not that the R1 was weak) but it's not that hard to make a R1 in to a R2... minor little things....also.. there are a few aftermarker chassis that are even better balanced than the R2 normal one for the R1....EXCEL is one and K-models is the other..

Just for your guys info. I figured that the yokomo pin and set screw for the R2 CVD's are a perfect match.

Hi Guys,

Sorry if it seems like I'm MIA (missing in action). I was out all weekend at the Tamiya Nationals Had a lot of fun with F201 cars. They are definitely a handsful to drive. Anyway, back to the cuda stuff Our RCCA review is coming out in the Jan. issue, which is on sale on 11/25th. Be sure to check it out!
