Hi Guo Chean,

How are you? I don't think we'll sell a complete XR05 car as it will be too expensive due to the amount of parts used. But all the parts used will be listed along with the reason for it being used so you guys can pick and choose what is ideal for your car. Also, once we are done, we are going to try and get this car featured in a magazine as well

OK first off.......Yo Momma!! J/K Wes

Nahhhh, guys I have a TA05 for my son to start racing this year. I want to keep him competitive in the Novice class plus he will drive this car in the Tamiya race in Memphis. I really like the car and I may be driving one come TCS time as well. I keep holding out for the loaded version to be released for myself. On the Mabuchi I have heard everything from soaking it in disel or WD40 to bolt it in and gear it to the moon!!! What cha think??

Steve.. one suggestion..
You might want to compare the weight of stock part to tell everyone how many weight hopup saved...

I would oil the bushings, and gear it in the 5.0 for a large open track. or about a 5.3 for a tight track.
