Here's my TA06 PRO, ready for the next tamiya cup season that starts in 2 weeks.
Total weight of the car is 1358gr (fully equiped with electronics and battery) but i still have some parts to save some weight


I even took the time to cut out the spiler posts, i think it looks great and more realistic.

What is the car of choice over there?
I'm still amazed at how capable the 06 is right out of the box. I feel like my setup is about 50% there, and I'm competitive every heat.

Mi4's, one TC6 and a smattering of older TC's, but this isn't TQ by seconds, it was by 3 laps last night, over 6 minutes. I am convinced that the layout makes direction changes easier to control and the drive out of a corner is immense, easily making a couple of car length's each corner.

Kit chassis, kit drivetrain apart from metal cross pins in the diff, plus some bracing at the front, to stop it from flexing to much.

I'm running the standard upward shock position and not the IFS.
Mainly because it's easier for setup and lighter, especially when my car is build up with brushed electronics. My total weight now is 1295gr and still able to go lower in weight and with my brushless setup it's arround 1350gr.

Got my Eagle racing carbon ta-06 built about 10 mins before i had to leave for racing tonight, had a few problems

race 1 - crashed, moved my motor slightly, so the pinion gears didn't touch the main spur.
race 2 - crashed, ripped a wheel off, due to a bit of the track sticking out a bit.
race 3 - came 2nd

pics of completed build tomorrow
