I checked my sources in HK..no one has them in stock yet.
too bad it's not in Purple...I'd get one to put in my Pro4. I did have the Q2...but sold it yesterday.

I got the Futaba M800C, but I'll sell it in a heartbeat if I can find those red ESC's for the same price. You might want it Ramon, it is all black, but the worlds kit has purple capacitors.

I did try the Fut MC800... but fried it after 2 races in stock...reluctant to use LRP again. the only LRP speedo's that I was happy with was the old SR and 7.1's. the Q2 looks promising but I'll wait to try one if I don't hear any horror stories of them going up in smoke... For now I'll stick with the GT7's. I've got the Hara Twister for my new car...can't wait to try it out.

Zombies. The Nosram is an LRP in a different coloured case.

If you want any Nosrams let me know. I'll see what I can do.

Hi Guys,

We got a large shipment of Alex Racing Parts in yesterday and I finally finished updating the site. Some R3 parts and hop-ups are available as well. Also, the titanium axles for the R2/R3 from Xenon racing are available. Lastly, the Xenon strapping tape are back in stock (now also available in blue)

Does the R3 comes with lightweight aluminium driveshafts or not? What are the items that can be lightened for the R3 as regarding rotating mass?
dhiracing.com

The R3 comes with steel driveshafts. The kit already come standard with delrin diff halves, if you want to go lighter on the drivetrain, you can go for the aluminum driveshaft in combination with the Ti axles, then the drivetrain will be super light

hey Joe...
yes..I know the Nostram is identical to the LRP.... but for warrantee purposes in the US..If I get one stay with LRP... I've contacted LRP and they will not warrantee the Nosram. Also contact Noscram about warrantee in the US..there is none. If anything goes wrong...I'll have to send it back overseas.

Damn, I have basically the same electronics setup except for the Futaba ESC, and the ESC sits about 1/8" from the endbell
