Maybe post a pic of what you're looking at, might give better idea of what you've got going on.

- Kyosho GT2 transformed to GT wheelbase with short chassis

I will be receiving my R2 for the Peruvian race tomorrow or wednesday max, then to paint department ... will show the pics as soon as i receive it.

Hi Pato, so does this mean it's not intended for GT2 after all, only for buggy wheel base cars like the ones above ? I'm a bit confused now.

If im not mistaken there is a 1/7 scale version to that fits dm1 and gt2 I think it was the first version.

MikaR and "rest of the guys", just to clarify.

Alpha RC have 2 bodies, R1 and R2.

R1 is this one and is oriented to GT2-like chassis (long) inclusing DM ONE 1/7 from Ofna :












Now, the R2 is for short chassis around 330mm wheelbase (DM SPEC, Inferno GT, Buggy mods, GTP2-E, etc) :














Now, Alpha RC works their bodies with inspiration in real cars, for R1 (long) the base was this (Audi R8) :







And for R2, this one (Peugeot RCZ) :







hope this info clears out all guys, cya !

Within 1 to 2 weeks.

Lee at Winner's Circle is taking pre-orders right now.

Also check out the pricing for both front & rear slicks and Warrior bodies while you're there. You should like what you see!

Gotcha Pato! Now this is very clear. Many thanks
Good to have more choices especially for the short wheelbase that I'm now running.
