Last sunday there was a friend who works in a RC shop and he was running an R1 and the car looks great, the car has lot's of potential from what i did see.
The guy had a bad crash and the rear suspension arm was in pieces, it looked like the big crash at the belgian F1 race in spa.
Lucky for him he has the right spare parts along with him.
When i looked at the car the first thing i checked was the spur, but it didn't had slop.
He said that there are spacers included in the kit to prevent that.
One thing i did notice was that the car was more overall narrower then my TRF416X, perhaps this has something to do with the suspension setup inserts.
Overall i was impressed about this new chassis.

hi spencer,
I got mine from Reflex Racing. it ended up sitting in customs for over a week, I had to email Parcel Force to get it out as it didnt get tracked for ages
you'll be very happy when you get it though

Pretty much got the S1 together, layshaft needs sorting but I'll get that done later. Got it in there without any spacers at the moment as I'm not going to run it yet. Should be easy enough to fix when I need to.
Few things to note:
Comes with all the roll bar mounts, you just need some roll bars that'll fit.
Plastics are quite stiff, tapping really does help.
Shocks are incredibly similar to the TRF ones - in fact the parts seem to be interchangeable.

Hello
Yeah I read that, the only thing I can think for the hold up is it's in customs.

I'll bet we could all use the Aluminum Servo mount that is due out soon. Other than that it's just bulkheads and the like and as hard as the plastics have been thus far I highly doubt you'd "NEED" to upgrade to ALU bulkheads.

I'd bet on sway bars as the only needed upgrade. I'll have access to one this Thursday and give more of my opinion on it then.

After driving Xeno's R1 I was quite impressed and ordered an S1. It should be in any day now. I'm stoked!
