Maybe an TeamLosi XXX-S if you anti-CF

I suspect the weight of a motor, speedy, servo and receiver is very close to that of the battery...
I have only run the car a couple of times, but the car is setup identically both sides and haven't found it to feel out of balance in any way...

both the t1r and evo2 are awesome cars. Obviously the evo2 is much more flash as everyone has pointed out, but for the price, the t1r is a total bargin
i raced my t1r at most of the tracks in Sydney, and found it to be extremely versatile as well as strong and fast, even with a hacker 6T.
In the end it comes down to how much you want to spend. If your a "develpoing" racer, personally i would buy the t1r and spend the remaining money on new tyres or tools. Ones things for sure, if you buy either of these cars, you wont be disappointed.

I have an Evo2 with the alloy C-Hubs. If I know the T1R was comming out I would have waited.
Someone told me that the Evo2 has durallium and the T1R Alloy bulkheads.
you know about the graphite/plastic differences.
the Evo has built in rear toe adjustment, the T1r is locked at 2 degrees.
the Evo 2 has an additional brace between the rear bulkheads
... and thats about it. from what I've seen the T1R is awsome value and as good as it's more expencive brother.

T1R comes with front ball diff (have to buy the one-way upgrade) and composite C-Hubs.
I disagree with the previous statement about locked 2 degrees of toe. You have to put shims in the rear arms to adjust the toe - but that does also affect your track width at the same time.

The only accessories for might need for either car is a front roll bar and a one way diff.

Did anyone notice that of the 4 Xray's in the Modified A final at EC last year one was a T1R.
There is no performance difference between the EVO 2 and T1R
Food for thought

hey everyone,
just wondering, i recently cracked the front of my carbon fibre bottom deck on my t1 @ the summernats and i was wondering whether it would make any performance difference if i replaced it with the t1r bottom deck???
ive been told i need to replace other things aswell like servo mounts and battery straps/mounts but will the deck actually make the car slower or handle different??? i realise more weight will be added but im already 1430 wthout weight so a bit more wont be too bad as i have to cover my car in lead to get it up to legal
also, could anyone give me a list as to what parts i need to replace to be able to use the t1r bottom deck??? (i have the original T1)
thanx

Hi Robbie,
A good mate of mine as recently bought a T1R and he has replaced the centre brace with a graphite (I don't know which one but it is a single strip of carbon fiber) and his car's rigidity is at least a match of my EVO2.
In short I don't think you are going to notice a significant change in your handling with the plastic chassis.
The only bits that may not work are the battery straps otherwise I can't see why you will need to change any other bits.
I hope this helps cheers
