Hey Everyone, I just got and R2 and I'm amazed at its performance. I used to drive a TB evo 3 and you have to replace the arms and other parts to reduce slop. The only thing i don't like about the R2 is what you have 2 do to change the spur gear. Also, i was wondering if the upper deck shaftholders are a good idea to buy. I don't want 2 have the plastic cases, do u have to put spacer's to replace it?

Get the Alloy shaft holders for the Front and Rear
it will make the drive shaft more stable if you are in a CrashYou can buy the shorter steering posts to get rid of the Palstic cases

Shorter steering posts are a good idea, I mostly don't bother without the gear cases but if I'm running on a very dirty and or wet track then I'd use them.
Dave- 4 long screws for two shock towers

Dave, no sign of PM or my parcel
Loads of bills and useless circulars and nothing of use!!!
Randman, there's nothing wrong with the bearing set you got with the web, at least build it and run it before dismissing its talents to some soon to be lucky owner.
Herm, gonna have it ready for the next time you race??
We await the verdict

Next race day is Monday, should manage to have it built by then
Unlike some I have the tools
and I don't have three other cars I want to buy and try and then sell 
Need to go get some sand paper to do the chassis though, boy do I hate this job atleast I have the filing of the battery slots done
old cuda is in lots and lots of peices
would of thought you'd get your stuff today too

Pretty much.... since there are a few companies that will more than likely make the TC style steering rack conversion later down the line
and after you have the PAL or Xenon chassis it's pretty much the same thing ...and a Bonus with the Xenon or the Pal chassis is that you can change the spur gear faster
