Smack me up side the head with a TC4
You are right the standard kit has 2 degrees of rear toe.
I have the light weight suspension on my car with the 1 degree rear blocks. And I'm not really sure if that suspension is an advantage on carget with rubber tires.

This maybe a dumb question but, is it possible to make the TA05 into a rally car?

Just got my ta05. I just got past putting the diffs and center pulley in. With everything bolted, I stuck the dogbones in to spin the drivetrain to see how smooth everything felt. I noticed that the belts move left to right between the pulleys, and occasionally rub and make a sound. Is this normal? It's my first belt drive car, and i don't know what to expect. Thanks for any help.

Tamiya Sat. what's the gear ratio for a stock motor? Right now I just have what came with the kit. And can you tell me what's a good gear ratio for 19 turn.
I just hope it doesn't rain sat. I haven't had a chance to run my car yet..

Tamiya Toy Fair 11-19,20
so I have not seen any speculation regarding the possibilty of new releases at the Tamiya Toy Fair next week? Anyone want to lay odds that we might see a different version of the TA05 or ??? announced.
Let the rumors start

Remember that setup is only a guidline and will need to be tailored to each person's driving style, track conditions and class entered in.
Good luck everyone...
