    Looks Like a ps2 car. At the front. In a good way. It feels like nostalgia. I like it. Some textures and places feel underdone. BUT still awesome well done :)

    3/5,
    Version: 1.2
    Looks: 4/5
    It looks a little bit low poly compared to vanilla cars, with lower quality modelling and textures, but overall, it is quite good
    Features: 5/5
    I don't think it's missing anything in terms of the car's functionality, it goes above and beyond
    Crashing: 4.5/5
    It is almost on point with vanilla cars in terms of quality, only thing holding it back is how the front parts are very prone to clipping compared to similar vanilla cars
    Content: 4.5/5
    It has a few confligs and a bunch of different parts, but it is below vanilla cars in terms of the amount of content it offers. It falls a bit short
    UI: 3/5
    Preview images are mismatched and don't match vanilla cars. I feel like the R20 and R21 should be in different categories if following vanilla naming conventions (unless the name was changed to Raven R-Series) it gives the mod a very shabby look.
    Overall: 4.2/5 - It's a keeper for me! Very nice car and mod.
    Other:
    I deducted one star because of the paid content. I am sorry, I am glad you released this, and I appreciate your work. I am the kind of person who would donate if this mod was very, very good, even with no reward. I can also underestand allowing patrons / supporters to beta test or get early access, but paywalled content isn't the way to go, and i, as well as many others, don't want it to fester on this community

      Thanks for the review,
      The background colours are mismatched to more clearly show which configs are R20 vs R21.

    It's a nice mod, but really just doesn't live up to the quality of most Beam mods today. And that's fine, as I see people pressure people to make "dev quality mods." But I feel with some polishing this could be made much better. Textures and shading just doesn't do it for me and some parts of the model are rough. Love that you are still introducing the paid part, but I believe this should be better quality and have more paid content to warrant that. Anyways, thank you for making this pretty cool mod :)

    I've been using this car for about 5 months now so I'm going to try and be as constructive as I can here. The J-Beam is remarkably good, considering you really aren't getting any help from anyone. It's by no means as good as a vanilla car but that's to be expected. The model itself is well made, I have tried to make one myself so I know how difficult/ time consuming it is. My only problem is the cars appearance. It looks like an automation car. The lights look as if they are pasted on instead of actually part of the car. I hate to say it but it's even more apparent on the R21. Then there's the shading. It looks very flat and plastic like. I think if you update these two things, the car will look much better. For now though, I think it's worthy of being a CCF2 competitor.

    Amazing! Any plans to make the R61? I love the R60 but it is very old and does not feel right. other than that, incredible mod!!

      The R60 will continue to get compatibility updates and minor feature updates to keep it working. But no major updates are planned currently.

    i love the car, and i dont know what the broke plebs are crying about, for less than 2 dollars you can get the car. if you are that broke there are similar mods out there, the rg extreme pack has a similar handling car, but doesn't crash well and is old.

    It's not bad enough. I have tested it before and It looks nice! Really like how is modeled, the headlights give me fun!

    Message to the haters:
    If you hate this mod, doesn't mean to give 1 or 2 star and rate with bad words on that mod. Doesn't make sense. If you don't want this mod, just leave and don't look at it.


    The mod still is nice! I really enjoy it! Keep working on it!

    This car looked bad years ago and still looks bad now, it would be worth three stars if it came with features most other mods included (rally suspension, widebody kit etc.) but..... oh wait lol.

    For those saying "Oh stop being annoyed about the paywall", we still are, and here's the objective reason why:
    This mod is not the best mod out there, and it never will be. That's not me dissing the author, I still think this is decent, but I don't think it's good enough to deserve a paywall. A mod the quality of the FR17 or the Vertex is deserving of a paywall. Not this.
    The paywall also makes no sense because there's nothing stopping a bored person from creating their own race, rally or whatever config for this car. You wouldn't even have to touch Blender to do so. So what if the author wouldn't let you distribute it? You still could make it and use it yourself.
    The paywall is objectively bad and there's a reason other Beam modders don't do it for their mods.
