Can someone give me a quick review of their OTA-R31? More specifically, I wanted to know how the standard shocks are and if it has parts compatibility with any of the other, more common kits out there?

I've heard that it can run a TA05 FOW and spool, how true is this? Oh, and what pulleys are you guys running?

^ I sound excited because I'm buying one.

This might help you out.. OTA-R31
Some of the guys are already sliding with this..
Jovenshadow is one of them.. but he's in Manila right now.

Thanks Jay! That answers most of it.

No prob.. you should share your own review of the chassis ones you got it ok

only in japan site is selling OTA

You can try @ Banzai Hobby Or Genkidori

I can't find it on Banzai, got a link? Also, everytime I click on it on Genki, it says "product not found".

Help?

there is a site in japan where sir bong bought his OTA-R31

But i dont remember which site

many japan stores were selling OTA-R31, try:-

race drift japan
futaba proshop
hobbystore tamtam
etc

GDD also had in the past but not showing stock now

got jovens OTA in one of the site but as you know. i dont restor in my memory which site it is as. all i care is to order them. i know its more cheaper than R&D. if you are interested to buy one, make sure you want one and can pay me in advance then i'll let you know which site. they also offer GLORIA OTA

@ Sir Ian, are you reffering to Rakuten?

@ Willy, thanks, will look at those.

@ OTA-R owners, would you say it's as good in it's stock form as the other high end kits out there? Such as the VDF and stuff? Only thing I don't like about the OTA-R and what gives me second thoughts is all the plastic.

Obviously CF is better, but is the OTA-R not good the way it is? Do the plastic tub and the lack of alloy stuff pose a big disadvantage?

i believe jovenshadow got his from super-rc.com for 222$ plus shipping (which would still come up cheaper than R&D)

and for 12$ more you get the Gloria 330 SGLE Shell. . . kicka$$ shell!

As you said. . . . OTA-R is all plastic. . .Its an entry level kit. . . but it slides really well out of the box. . .and the OD adjustability is just awesome. . . but there will still be a lot work on it to make it durable like a CF/Aluminum kit. . . . so better keep extra cash in your pockets if you buy it. . . .

imho

Thanks for the input Chard! And wow, it's a lot cheaper on that website.

Does the Gloria come with the diffuser?

Only thing I'm wondering right now is if a TA05 with a drift conversion a better alternative to this.

Sorry, the page wouldn't load right on my phone. Yep, it says the diffuser is there.

Yeah, it isn't the prettiest car out there.

Just waiting to hear from the OTA-R31 owners out there and I'll click the "checkout" button.
