Wondering about the Tamiya since I kind of like Tamiya.
With the EFRA using modified or 10.5T motor I'm wondering about some "few" things.
What spurs and pinions is usable with a 540-motor?
Use the Tamiya spur gear adapter and 1/8" diffballs, with a 76-78t 64p gear, and 64p pinion, which are standard on all 1/12th cars
What batteries are good for 1:12?
Any 1s lipo
With the standard set from Tamiya, what MUST be swapped out to make the car work on a track?
The Kit form RMX is an out of box racer, some have bolted on an AE or Xenon front end for more tuning options
Check in with the local racers at your track for tips on motor, battery, electronics, tires, and setup help
The RM-01(X) can use springs from other cars, as settings are often similar across many different makes in 1/12th scale
Tamiya Option front, kit rear foams, are as good as any tire available, only drawback, is you have to mount them yourself
To use standard pre-mount 1/12 wheels I recommend
RC RM01 Front Axle - For 1/8" x 5/16" Bearing
And rear wheels will need a decent off-set to keep front/rear wheel-track similar
