Like a member said, the Spec R R1 is better in low grip condition to high grip and the Spec R S1 just from mid to high grip. So I have to switch to the sakura XI Sport as it is better for low grip condition.
I think the main chassis is not as narrow as other brands (Sakura, Team Magic..)
I have also seen the RGT Touring Car which is also very interesting..
The S1 has very little flexibility all around, it's made of pretty hard plastic with little to no flex. The original R1 is much more flexible with its carbon chassis and top plate, and the R1 Pro Spec even more so (the Pro Spec has a 2.25mm chassis as opposed to the R1s 2.5mm). So, that's where the handling differences come from. For added flexibility on the R1/Pro, you can leave out the screws that mount the top plate to the motor mount.
