Cars seem faster now but still slow
Masami driving is once more unbelievable

That's because all the companies have switched to belt driven cars and that's the main chassis now. The only one that still have a Shaft Driven cars as their main chassis is Associated (maybe not for long), Kyosho (but this one is a twin), and Alex Racing Design. I did see a Stinger in one of the Picture. So GO the STINGER!!!

I can see wanting and needing to get every possible charge into each cell, but that is not very cost effective!
I would much rather replace $3 brushes every run vs. having to have $1000 worth of chargers for ONE PACK! LOL

Another thing that I find ironic is the fact that in Japan this weekend they will also be running the TCS (Tamiya Championship Series) Worlds they run 6 cells and I think may even be going faster then the J-Nats. Hara and Masami may be the favorites but the fastest cars running in Japan this weekend will be amatuers at a spec race.

BUt IF a guy sees HARA doing this don't you think he will want to do it also?
Plus if that is what it will take to get every drop of performance out of a 4cell mod car, how long before ALL the TOP racers are doing this?
The point I was trying to make is that the complaint about 6cell mod with 6-7 turn motors was speed and COST of replacing brushes and arms from the EXTREME heat they are seuing based on Timing and the voltage we have now.
But either way its still gonna cost money to RACE, I don't care if you are running Nascar, F1, Motorcycles, Boats or RC cars when you add the word RACE its neve cheap!!!

I second the Efficiency is from the Finger Part, couldn't be more right

your right on the efficiency on run time. I was also reffering to shaft maximizing the limited power of four cell especially out of corners.

I wonder if they were still running 6 cells, would HARA be useing 6 chargers to charge each cell individually like he is doing for his 4 cells?

What turn motors are people allowed to use in the 4 cell expert class?
