What's the difference between a Mx-3 GS and an RS? And what does it mean? And how do I know what one I've got?

One has a G and the other has a R? ;) There are a lot of differences between the two versions.. best bet would be to hit the http://www.mx-3.com home page and check the various options. The GS did get a different ratio steering gear box that was not available for the RS. The suspension in the GS is a bit beefier as well. Cheers
