can someone confirm if this is true?
are the part numbers between the first and second models be the same?

also have some other questions:

where i can get an excel/speedway shaftdrive system in red?
tried rainbow10. they don't have them in stock

which company produce the 3mm chassis?

which company produced the chassis with the battery position moved forward.

my appologizes to everyone for all the questions.

Thanks!
They list it on the website as an R2, I wouldnt worry about it...

Dave Berger runs fine without it, but if you are a noob, you'll propably be crashing quite a bit, especially with the extra speed of the BL, so I'd say yes...

It's definately a nice benefit, but you would do better with the stock motor Novak has avalible for the brushless ESC. The stock profile on the ESC still has more punch than a mod motor, just cuts the RPMs short.
