Oh man.. FC's are a bit outta reach for me. Someone correct me, but the series refer to the different model revisions. I think there's 7(?) series'.. As for the FC advice, you're best bet is to poke around the 2nd gen forum, and ask questions there.

sorry I can't be much help, I do't live much outside my 3rd gen bubble.. Welcome to nopistons.com anyway!

Welcome to the forum. Here's an FC buyer's guide: link

There's a lot of stuff in there, so unless you want to be real picky, I'd just watch out for the major mechanical problems.

Over heating is as easy as a larger radiator, and they shouldn't blow Apex seals if you upgrade them to 3mm...



And yes there are several series of rotary cars, more than just 4 if that's what you're referencing too.
