Hey Tony

The buggy looks good, I will enjoy beating it at the next comp.

Did you get the tranny new or used? I see that you have the short out-drive shafts, that may create a problem with a lathe motor. I do have an extra 'long shaft' (to help the drive shaft clear the can).

Let me know if you need it.

R2 probably won't last long for you

Ask me how I know....

RC4wd has an R3 in the works, bigger gears, dual motor capability, and still in the <$100 pricerange. Once that comes out I'm gonna sell the R2 and get one.
