Thanks, I've run a handful of Tamiya bodies and the RE Amemiya RX7 has been my favorite so far, Id imagine due to the shape its somewhat in the middle of these two. I may just paint them all and do some more testing.

Get ready to get 'MAN-handled'

that is all...

I also had a Yokomo truck body back then. Is that a new Tamiya version?

It is a 'prototype' BodySet from Tamiya shown at the HobbyShow. Mounted on TT01E(sedan)..

I'm guessing it will fit my GT10 sedan quite nicely.

I remember running a Euro truck body on my 414M II back in the day. From the looks of this one, looks like will only fit on a shaft chassis and possibly too low behind the cab to work on a belt chassis.

Anyone try the Sumo Nissan GT-R shell on their TRF419? What are you thoughts compared to other shells? Got a great deal on this body, and will be using it for TCS event next month. Thanks.

M06 mini class race

Any thoughts on a segment of mini for the m06 only? Rear drive is cool and can be fairly fast. If there was a heat of just rear drive, and no I am not referring to the "d" main, it would be fun.

Thoughts?

By us on carpet the M06 is several tenths faster than the M05...on asphalt not so much. I prefer to drive fwd minis and wouldn't complain about them being split but it'd probably dilute the class.

I think you're right about diluting the class. I raced my m06 on carpet in a field of m03 and 05 and the car held its own. I never ran before that day on carpet, and it was about 2 years that I drove the car, so I was at a disadvantage to know where to go with tuning.

I plan to race it on black top, but it may not be competitive. But then again, neither am I!

Kinda of Bummed that 1/12 GT 13.5 is being eliminated from this years TCS. Now I have to scramble to get a 21.5 Reedy motor for my mini. Gonna have to give GT2 a try this year for my 3rd class (since technically I am not eligible for GT3). Still should be the usual good time at this years TCS at "The Track"
