Starteur: and everyone. I was able to run the R9R on carpet, like the R9F it is FAST and it turns threw the center of the corner out better than any. i dont think that this body will replace the mazda series bodies completely but in my opinion will join those bodies among the fastest. PS: remember to pull the wing back on this body to take a little steering away if it is too aggressive. Paul

STLNLST: I ran it on carpet with a spool, i have not yet ran it on asphalt so we will have to see. But i did test the R9F on asphalt when i was in germany and suprisingly for a carpet body it was pretty good.

So what are the news guys, have you tested over the week end?
I still need to know if I buy a Stratus or the new ''thing''.
Thanks

Last I checked the stratus has been the old thing ever since the mazda6 has been out. There should be a large performance gap between the r9r and the stratus. The real question is if the r9r is better than the speed6

Could someguy which is using it tell me if is really better than Speed6.
In the case i am looking for new bodies, as the site said is fit on low traction situtation, in the case i race on the concrete.
Then where could i find them, i can't anyway to online order.

Hi guys,
I tested the R9-R on a pretty small carpet track. Its a very "pointy" body with lots of steering, and noticably more steering on power than SPEED6 and is fairly stable but doesnt seem to have the corner speed of the mazda range.
Im sure time will tell with this body, but i think its still varients of the mazda all the way!

I was at the same track as STLNLST this weekend and ran it in practicing Saturday and shelved it. Too twitchy, not enough rear bite, and it made my Mazda 6 feel like a dream once that was refitted for asphault racing with rubber. Looks like a carpet only body for sure.
If anyone wants to try for themselves I have a brand new one never opened that I'll sell you.

It was one of the best weekends in a long time. The turnout was great. My car was definately uncontrollable with the R9-R None of the set up changes helped calm it down. Oh well......I can say I tried the body. See ya the next time out.
