Personally, I like the R2 with the Xenon chassis conversion kit. The R3 is going to be a better kit than the R2 out of the box, but I personally think the R2 with the Xenon chassis is better than the box stock R3.


same here....the Xenon and the PAL A-Spec but the R3 will have a slightly revised chassis as far as battery balance and motor position..... (difference between R2&Xenon/PALchassis)
Xenon/PAL chassis batteries moved 5mm forward and motor moved 2.5mm back
(difference between R2 and R3 chassis)
R3 Chassis batteies moved forward 2.5mm and motor mount moved back 1.5mm

but the R3 has a few more things going for it that will make it that much better from a Diehard TC racers stand point..... better steering system and easy access swaybars...also a few small other details
