| R1 Mods, Tips and tricks
I just wanted to put together a consolidated thread that lists all the common mods, tips and tricks to keep your R1 alive and well. This will just be a series of links to various threads that the author as performed. Consider it a one stop shop for all the common mods. If you have any mods that should be added, please let me know and I'll add them in.

Has anyone stumbled upon a protective roll-bar for the R1 to protect the optional 3-light array on top of the roof?

No such thing. Would be a custom job. |

I just ended up mounting my upside down so it was taking up the "windshield" area. Not really scale looking, but at least it protects the aluminum light buckets from getting dinged up.

Just for the record, since I've been using my modded CR01 dog bones running a 35t motor on 3s I haven't had a single issue. Pretty pleased with that. |

| Re: R1 Mods, Tips and tricks
For Sale section? Might want to search there first. It's been a while since I've seen anything for R1 though, let alone an RTR since they are sold as kits. You could also post in the Wanted section what you are looking for and see if anyone responds. |

The R1 never came as a RTR. If that is what you are looking for, you'll have to scour the classifieds for a used one that someone else has built up.

To get a Junfac DIG shifting smoothly: 1. Polish the engagement shaft surfaces so it disengages smoothly and slides into the front or back position quickly. 2. Bevel the edges of the rear wheel lock teeth so it pops into place. Pictures of both in this thread: Thinkcooper's first R1 |
