there is practicly no difference between a Xenon equiped R2 and a standard R3. Other than the R3's new graphite and different steering system.
Lots of the pictures you've seen of the R2 that have got the Xenon chasis have a lot of other hop ups added to them, like mine, but the Xenon chassis itself is basicly a thicker than stock chassis with cells a touch further forward. Has a motor mount that holds the drive shaft in the middle.
The R3 comes with it's glittery chassis which has the cells slightly further forward than a stock R2 although not quite as far as the Xenon. It doesn't have the split top deck of the Xenon but thats only for quick spur changes. Has a motor mount that holds the driveshaft in the middle.

Even the pics of the R3 are a touch misleading as they show the alloy shaft holders but the kits will come with the standard plastic items.
