I apologize for the newb questions, Tamiya is still a mystery to me, and there's a LOT of stuff out there.
The spring kit only contains 4 spring rates, correct? I see a lot of people using springs from AE, is this for fine tuning? Also, there seems to be a white spring kit that was discontinued. I think white springs would be pretty cool looking. :-)
What's the story on this car (and its predecessors) as far as carpet/rubber tires go? Is it intended for that style of racing, or does it truly belong on asphalt, and shoehorned into carpet? I realize it's probably not an ideal foam car... I'll probably have to get a Phi for that.
