Ok, thanks Herm..
Guess all I need is a couple of hours at the lathe with a pices of aluminum and a complete diff set for the cuda to use as a model.
Can then use the delrin outdrives and the gear from the diff set and have a lightweight spool in a days time
Now where do I find a lathe

They have just started making alloy spools with replacable delrin outdrives
now I need to persuade them to make a version for the Cuda 
They also do extra strong cvd bones for use with the spool, these fit their very nice titanium cvd's......

I think they'll be the next step for me, Teeside is twisty and needs them I think.
Fuku's are very nice
9 months on and my packs are still strong.

Once again the R2 shaft will work..
all you have to do is cut about 1cm of the end of the carbon shaft at the end and make one more flat spot for the grub screw.... so don`t worry it "WILL" work
take a look at the pic I attached .. it shows the lenght between the R1,R2,R3 shafts

hehe, I thought you meant they'd be selling an oval shaped cuda for a second there 
That one looks a bit more rectangular in shape

i live in Brisbane and race mainly at hobbystation (indoor asphalt). will be making a debut at the queensland championship with this car
have a look at JDM's post (a few replies ago, before the oval cuda) as there's a pic that has the center oneway in it.
started bulding mine yesterday and now i'm stuck on deciding which servo to fit into it

It's machined out of steel with the center hollowed out and the back plate drilled out.

Is oval racing popular in Japan? Also, wouldn't a specific oval car like a RC10L4 be better suited? I don't understand why Alex Racing would release an oval version of the R3
