John... I almost gave up in GT3(deja vu from last year?) when you took TQ during the first round (it's just so hard running in the 1st heat 'coz I didn't know how to pace myself without any reference). Your TB-02 is so fast on the esses during practice on Sat. You think the layout change took the advantage away?

And what about Alex... WOW, he impressed all of us almost taking over my spot... yikes! This Nats will be very very interesting... (hopefully we don't use the black cans again like last year, those motors are just... well... CRAP! Burnt all 3 of them last year!)

Default Yikes

Ok on a lighter note I will be getting some new B3's here late this week or early next week if R10 still has them in stock. I've got my fingers crossed.

So who's going to try the new suspension bits for their tb when they come out?

If that's truely the case, I may not compete @ the nats this year. And it's not because I think I am at a disadvantage or anything, I just disagree with the decisions that strongly.

my appologies if this has been brought up before.

but my TB02 has a terrible turning circle. Probably the worst out of all the cars I've driven before.

Is there anything I can do about this?
It's stock as a rock, other than having TakeOff 22's on it.

Thanks, Tim

Default TB-02 stock bearings

I just competed in my first TCS race a couple of weeks ago in the mini class and really enjoyed it. I quallified for the canadian finials in mini so I decieded to purchase a TB-02 and race GT-1 and GT-2 with it as there is still one more quallifer for the nationals this year, anyway I still have not recieved my TB-02 yet and I was wondering if the stock kit bearings are the metal shielded type or the rubber sealed type?
