Well, I just got a job at a Toyota Dealership and they happen to sell Tamiya's. I get a discount on them so was wondering what the good kits are? Also, how much to they cost on the average?

as for the tamiya cars... i saw the EvoIV today at the tamiya test track. the car looked very quick out of the corners. handling also looked very good. but then again, it was David Jun driving
TRF415 and EvoIII/SE and EvoIV are all great cars. you cant go wrong with any of them. when you see the burien guys.. tell them Chris "Hebiki" Lim from TAOB Racing said hello!

Does anyone have any links to pictures of the EVO IV chassis? I'm really digging the 415 just cuz of all the CF and aluminum...lol
I'm still undecided. They both sound like great cars. I think what it will come down to is the bling factor and what people at my track are running.

Hmmm, well i'll probably stop the TRD store tomorrow to look at prices with my discount. Hopefully it'll be close to what I could get for my tc3 *crosses fingers*

I am with RC Driver Gary.
The F103's were far superior to F201's in fun and cost effective racing. While F201 are nice kits, they just do not have the spirit of the f103's.
I could run my F103 for 10 minutes with a black can motor and 3300's, and it was still fast.

guys can you help a man out
I have a body off a M-03L and want to buy a better chassis kit for the body . my question is what other chassis will fit a body from a M-03L ?
Will a TA03R special chassis kit work for me? or is there something better?
Sorry for the stupid question but I have no knowledge of tamyia brand as what fits and doesnt.
thanks guys

Not a stupid question but I wish I had a better answer. The MO3L and MO4L both have a 239mm wheelbase. Unfortunately, no other Tamiya chassis that I know of is of that size. The next closest is the TA03F-S and TA03R-S at 237mm. They're not exactly the easiest to find and getting to be collectible.
The TA03R is at 257mm.
Somebody jump on in here if I'm wrong.

So the TA03R-S is the special chassis kit correct? and should work out ok?
