You mentioned wanting to snag another TC. You're welcome to borrow one of mine for the season. I can only run one car a night and have a couple extra. It's a crime to let them sit around gathering dust so I was planning to sell them. I have a TC5 with a gear diff, spool, silver can, LRP speedo which I ran my first season. I also have a TC6.1 with the RSD6 conversion and every Reflex Racing hop-up they make (including DCJ's), LRP speedo and 17.5 motor. It could use a new set of tires, body (I have an unpainted protoform) and cleaning after asphalt season and the Scale Spec car could run an entire season as it sits today.
I know you're a Tamiya guy, but the offer is on the table for you if you're interested. I also have all the spares for both cars. Lemmie know if you're interested and I drop it off. Like I said, the biggest crime on my book is having nice cars gather dust, so I'd be happy to get my ass kicked by someone I respect driving one of my cars. :-)
