Where better to be than on the ground floor of a sound effect revolution?

Because, if belt drive is not perform good, they still have shaft drive as another chance to win the race but this race this belt drive perform better than shaft drive.

Just like Kyosho's argument on the last WC when almost all the driver change to V1RRR and the factory said that V1RRR is specially designed for bumpy tracks but for flat surface track FW-05 is still the way to go. Sounds like marketing strategy, and a little bit greedy

Also, last time I heard Surikarn wants to get Mugen distribution for all Asia-Pacific region and still not granted by Mugen Factory. So I'm curious what he's running for GP cars now, especially onroad...

I don't agree. If belt drive is have a huge advantage over shaft on last WC, I'm sure that Masami still will not run the old MR-4TCSP and Hara runs the Pro3. That looks like some kind of immature behaviour that Tamiya shown by preparing 2 alternatives because they don't know what to do and which is faster.

They won the world championship didn't they? If they have 2 world class designs, take them both to the worlds and see which one their drivers feel most comfortable with. Kudos to Tamiya (and Kyosho) I say!

Maybe Surikarn just couldn't get his car as fast as the 415 or Pro 4. Anybody think of that?

hi all,
just my two cents worth.... I thought the drivers could not change their chassis during the event, unless they destroy the first chassis.....
maybe they can take two to practice, and then once wualifying starts, thats what they have to run with in the event...
forgive my ignorance...
