The last I heard was because it wasn't a production run car (whatever that means) if you attend a ROAR national event you would have to run in Modified. I think the same problem happened to the 414X car. Maybe because they were a limited production run. Somebody correct me if I am wrong but on a club level they are fine.

Pinion gear
ok just got the TA04R all built and was wondering what gear ratio should i have for the P2K. Also can you use 64pitch pinion with the 0.4module spur??

I was recommended a 120/38-40 gearing for the stock motor. The TA04R includes the 120t already, so you just need the pinions.

ya but Tamiya pinions are more expensive that the other brands so can you use 64pitch pinion?
#143
Yes, you can use other brand 64pitch pinions. I used to use RRP pinions, but I never liked them because the grub screw strips too easily (not to mention you need an exact 1.5mm Hex Driver, such as the MIP one, the L Shaped driver the kit supplies you with won't work well with RRP Pinions.) I now use Tamiya ones.

so the mesh is the same?

Another thread mentioned using HPI Pinions. OTOH I use Kawada 64p duraluminum pinions. Works great. But I put loctite on my grub screw so it next to never comes out...

guess 64pitch will work. might get the 64pitch if it's a lot cheaper. and other brands of pinion is TCS legal right?

High Torque or High Rev?
Found a *bit* more info on the Type T & Rs, as well as prices. Both seem to be priced the same @ 2,600yen. According to this URL

Type T
Type R
The Type T is meant for high torque usage, whereas the Type R is for high revolution (high speed?) usage. What's preferably for a technical circuit?

TFR the pinions might not be a lot. $21 for Tamiya (a pair) and $6-8 for others so it'll be $12-16 but if it's $6 for a pinion then i'll get those one.
for technical track get the Type T. just like other stock motor, technical is P2K on wide open traks are Type R same thing like the GM3
