Very Early days ,but I can see some bits I would prefer in Alloy , the first of which would be
the centre diff holders , like always though it will depend on flex and ware and tare over a
period of time

I think also plastic engine carrier needs to be an alloy

Which one Erdl .I think the Engine plate to chassis is alloy ,not sure about the Clutch Bell /
engine bracket thing

Think MCD will have got alloy options in the pipe line already! and Joe will beat them to the production line! and he like us has only seen photos

This comes down to the need for an Ultimate version of this buggy, i said it somewhere else that an all alloy version is the way to go... not plastic, even the best plastic flexes too much, including MCD plastic.

The Losi 5 already has a heap of alloy upgrades, and for a good reason... no not just because there's money in it, but because it needed them.... imo this RR5 will be no different, and i hope the upgrades come out quickly.

[harryhackenbacker]

Perhaps an Ultimate version would just be too expensive ,chasing a very small market ,the FT
thing worked out well ,as Did the Jofer upgrades ,I can see MCD doing Alloy arms , but other 
upgrades ,who knows ,more likely it will be a Question if it's financially viable for Joe to make
them Volume wise ,and what's needed .
Probably the Fastest Car on the Uk Circuits is a Stock V4 FT ,don't think it even has an EC kit,
on it

This part has to be an alloy

Got you ,the Clutchbell Housing , other Models  suffered here .

Joe was Quite Impressed with the Initial spec and pics !!!! thinks they have done a good
Job ,    However I am sure he will buy one ,then we will get some Ideas Going 

[OzMCD]

I wonder if Joe has an RR5 yet, he only rings me when the bills overdue 

[BeatsMe]

Don't think he does, think he would need two... one for track testing and one for bench fitting/testing.  I emailed him last week about doing alloy upgrades, he said most likely not until next year.

[harryhackenbacker]

Not sure the Volume will be there to make it worth while for Joe , I was thinking what parts
will be needed ,well apart from hinge pin Holders which MCD have made ,and are testing ,
(possible before xmas ) you cant make a  Radio tray it would be about £3000 in Alloy ,
and to heavy    , Braces perhaps ??  Arms ,well I am sure that's an Mcd call .
We will have to see
