I have the short springs on order from SpeedTech..
I currently have some LOSI JRXS springs mounted and if i didn't know any better i would think they were made for this car.. Fit/length is perfect.. Hope the TAMIYA shorties are similar.

Allowed To Race ?
Hi Guys,
I'd like to pose a question to you ?
What would your reaction be to the organisers of the TCS enforcing a rule which states that if you intend racing a Tamiya chassis/kit which was not purchased locally you will be forced to pay an additional race entry fee and even if you do pay the additional fee you will not qualify for any prizes.
I already have confirmation from Tamiya America that a racer is allowed to use any Tamiya kit as long as it is legal for the class you want to race regardless of where it was purchased.
I would like to get a similar confirmation from Tamiya Japan does anybody know how I could contact Tamiya Japan ?.

When that happens here, I'll boycott the organisers and "encourage" others buddies to do the same !

I think you need to report them to Tamiya, they will loose their TCS Status!
