My idea is to get the R version, but with some mods on it.

- Exotek TC5 kit.
- Bulkheads to mount the motor more to the centre of the car.
- TRF shock kits TA42102.
- Titanium racing spool.
- RPM heavy duty ball ends.
- Ceramic ball diff with JAAD Racing bearing (have used it in my previous car).

If you guys have some other stuff you consider a good option or if there is something I put on the list that you consider useless let me know.
I just build that exact setup almost. I'm using the Top Racing ceramic thrust bearing though (or will one it arrives) and I'm using different ball ends and the stock spool. My only caution is the Exotek chassis. Fully built with lightweight electronics and no additional weights my car is coming in at 1460g. ROAR experimented with a 1420g weight. If that is the case then the weights for the Exotek chassis are going to need to be made smaller and moved outwards to meet the min weight.
