Yes, carpet at TQ. So lucky to have that place around. Not sure if I can make it sat.

I like everything about TQ Raceway, owner, employees, racers, parts supply, track layouts and on and on but... I cannot make my cars get around comfortably on rubber tires!
And I have tried and tried.
I've even driven several other dialed cars that have proven to dominate there.

I wrecked em or came close to it.
I haven't given up completely but my driving style just isn't working and I haven't been able to find the groove.

Foam however, does work for me, just haven't commited to those cars. Yet!
My wallet already hurts way too much, a couple more chassis would not be acceptable!

I got one older gentleman there to podium and place 1st in the last 2 sportsman races. He said the same stuff before just like you. His name is S Vines. Ask him if you know him and stop by there. He runs a first gen 417 now. I'm sure he could set you up now that his car works so well.

I know him

He was kind enough to be the tech dude for the Tuning Haus series this winter.

Wonder if he got his F1 going too.

I gotta get back there and punish my 419 at least a couple times to see if anything's changed.
Driving and/or tuning skills.

I will be there Saturday trying a mini M05 for TCS there. Never played with a Mini before. I'll have my 419 and GT2 car there.

Can you guys convince Sean at TQ to open a track here in Vegas.. Rents cheap and we have lots of peeps that like TC but are forced to either race in a parking lot or off-road

You'll find the part numbers in the back of the manual, as well as on the tamiyausa.com web site.

The part number for the motor mount is 13450649 (sometimes the leading "1" is dropped off, eg: http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/ite...uct-id=3450649). Note that the center post is listed as a different part number.

Doesn't look like a lot of usual places are showing it and one that does (rcmarket) is out of stock. I'd suggest dropping your favourite (tqrcracing/banzai etc) sources an email.

Phil.

Is there a chart or the new style 418/419 suspension block numbers somewhere? I have several for 415-417 but need the new style

Numbers have not changed.

The 1piece blocks are interchangeable. The 418/419 style (available in 1C/1E & 1F only) are slightly lighter weight. Geometry is the same.

The 419 split blocks also give the same geometry. So the old charts are still correct.

But the part numbers have changed no? I know the settings end up being the same.

Tamiya 1,2 at Futasan 2015 Modified A-main


Naoto took the TQ position (white car) and Aoki 2nd in the (orange). I'll let you figure out who came in first.
