I'd go for a V3, previously the original 2010 was so much more expensive than the R but there was no performance difference so it was difficult to justify the price tag. The V3 is cracking value and for what you get got the extra £70 the R seems pointless unless you're using it to rebuild a tired 410.
The big bores aren't necessary as look at Jorn's car, it doesn't have bog bores and it doesn't have the new motor mount. To be honest it looks like a 2010 with the new shock towers and rear wishbone hanger so getting a used one isn't a bad idea.
The plastic blocks don't snap easily, I replaced the plastic front block with a alloy one and all the rest are the original plastic blocks. I've had some nasty crashes, tweaked the chassis and still they haven't broke. If you break a plastic block then its obvious you deserved it.

The big bore shocks transformed my car. The rest of the hop ups are just a bonus but the extra cash spend on the 410v3 is well worth it. If u buy the r u will def upgrade some of the parts and spend more than u would just buying a v3!!
