Never have understood why the 04 and 06 are treated separately, sometimes, but not always.

Anybody have or know of a decent 05 chassis for sale ? I looked in the classifieds but not much there that wasn't already sold. I'd prefer a factory upgraded chassis or something upgraded but TCS legal. Feel free to PM or Email.
I guess it's time to start reading posts. It's been way to long between visits.

Does anyone know if the Yeah Racing rear suspension plate for the M05 is any good? I've got 1.5* on the rear uprights and 1* at the stock plate right now, for a total of 3.5* rear toe. Need to knock that down a little, don't want to pay Tamiya pricing of n this part.

Tamiya Worlds M-Chassis 2015
World Champion is Kang In Mo (Korea). I raced him in the Asia regional and his pace was 0.2 sec/lap faster than me. Super fast driver.
I think this is the first time a non Japanese driver has won the M-chassis Worlds?
All A-main seemed to use Mini Cooper S (long).

Looks like they went with no traction compound again. I'd love to see that happen in more races. Too many chemicals in my life already!

Well Tamiya went and did it again!
For the 2016 TCS season it says we MUST use the REEDY 21.5 MACH 3 motor
with 273 stamped on it!
Come on Tamiya WHY???
