i know you'll feel it on high bite foam, CRC carpet racing 7T mod racing..... but not sure if you'll feel that on asphalt. i only use my TA05 in stock and silver can.
but i think that most TA05 runners use it with a 19T (at most?), stock or silver can.... i say run the car first (i bet mine is tweaked also
) and see if the stiffer chassis is better suited to your driving style 
then worry about the tweak afterwards. and im sure your LHS will be more than happy to refund/exchange your chassis. (but they're in demand, do you really want to wait? 
)
dont mind me.. im rambling. cheethae.. havent forgotten about your PM bro. ill send you something soon

Are you guys able to run the North American TCS finals without running one of the qualifying TCS rounds? I was wondering because we're not able to run the Canadian TCS finals if we dont run one of the qualifiers and qualify for the finals. To me this is a direct contradiction of what the TCS is *SUPPOSED* to be all about.
Im orignally from Australia, and we had major turnouts to not only the TCS finals, but the regional TCS rounds also. But we never had this crazy rule that you cant race at the finals without qualifying??? Hell we had a few guys who flew the entire length of Aust, to race the finals, and had a total blast coming in mid heat in the E final. I thought TCS was about having fun and promotion of TAMIYA????
I dont get it? Why do Tamiya US and Canada do things this way? Are they getting seriously too many entries for the finals? That is the oly possibility to restrict entry for the race..... Its rediculous IMHO. I cant race a regional TCS, because basically there is none, and ill be damned if im paying for airfares to attend a TCS regional, and the TCS finals! And the kicker.... i was told if i fly to attend the TCS regionals in say Vancouver, and win my class, im ineligible for the free trip to the TCS cdn finals in Toronto?! So this year will be the first year since 1999 i havent participated in the TCS series.
So what do you guys think???

Speaking of trips... Hebiki... decided yet on whether we're invading Tamiyarcracer's turf? My wife and kid are all set to go... just waiting for my final decision...
