I was thinking the S as well but it's unique suspension has me worried. I am leaning towards the R, I get to the track rarely and more adjustment and set up options the S provides are not always better for a guy like me.

I have raced Euro Truck and usually bring up the rear on black carpet and I also have some experience with TT02 in a parking lot series on Asphalt which I was a mid packer at least.

I have no idea just how "novice" this class will be though come March, original question though, which one? I thought about dusting off the TT02 car I used on the asphalt but it's pretty beat up and a mix up of parts at this point and not sure it would meet strict TCS rules.

Parts wise I have TRF dampers already and a high speed gear set in my tool box.
read the pdf version of the rules it has the recommended hop ups needed. The s version is not allowed in the spec class. The r or rr is a good way to go, getting a base kit with motor, body, and esc is good with getting some of the minimally needed hop-ups
