The CR2 SE is the same as the normal CR2's expect in the special red carbon fibre.

The XD shock towers are already available in the black carbon fibre and the motorplate & idler kit will be available soon in the black carbon fibre as well.







Oops no e-clips on the rear brace lol.

I know someone who tried, it works but the idler mod is preferred if you are running on low grip surfaces too. You do it by switching some of the sensor cable wires, and the ESC wires going to the motor.

If you want I can ask him how he did it, but I wouldn't advise it

Even if I'm likely to follow your advice, knowing how to do it is interesting. So yes you can ask the guy for explanation.
Thanks

with sensored speedo's (such as the LRP Sphere or SXX) you can't just swap 2 of the phases over and reverse the motor rotation. the sensor expects the motor to rotate in the 'normal' direction and fires the phases accordingly

with sensorless speedo's I believe you can, or you can change the motor rotation in the software (but check first)

Ash.... here is a little tip...

use one chassis for 'racing' and keep one for 'best'

bolt your 'best' chassis on the car when its sitting on the shelf and put the racing one on the car when you want to do more than just look at it

you wont need 5 then, you could get away with just having 2 chassis
