It's a MR-01F. That means it uses a MR-02 style RM pod for body clearance.

Is That Good Or Bad?

The good, the motor sets lower for better CG for cornering. Also allows lower bodies to fit the chassis.

The bad, the motor sitting lower allows it to catch on more stuff. eg, not ideal for carpet.

With those two things, you make the call.

I converted my MR01 to the low rear pod and the change in handling was definately noticable, I race on foam mats however, so I don't know if it causes problems on carpet.

My F40 when I added the 01F rear pod to it on carpet it snags at the rear. Running on a hardwood or other slick floor the rear plants for a more true corner than the original mount. Of course I run a different diff with it so I hope that's not what is doing it.

The old setup, original rear pod with a powerline diff. Yes, I know the powerline diff is junk I fought with it every step of the way.

The new setup, 01F rear pod with a Kyosho MR02 ball diff. Yes, the diff alone is way better. Smoother, and works like it should.
