Fast = Hot Rod?
« on: June 25, 2009, 08:03:20 AM »
The specs look pretty close between these two. Anyone care to weigh in on how close the Fast is to the Hot Rod in terms of reaction and overall shape on the lane?

If am pretty sure that the r2s is stronger than the curelyon.  if you want to stay storm you probably would be looking at more of a street rod pearl.  That too though should be a bit stronger with the reactor cover.

dont know about the hot rod but compared to the street rod its a little stronger overall (handles more volume) and not as jerky off the spot

Not quite the same, colors and specs make them look close though.  The fast uses the T-Road coverstock and the Street Rod core.  This creates a polished ball that starts up a little sooner due to the core and doesn't come off of the breakpoint as hard or angular as the T-roads.
