I picked it up at Gyro's Hobby on Lake Forest Dr. , you know where Devon works!
Give him a call next time your going to Tamiya and he'll probably bring it over for you!
I'm done with mine, so you can borrow it, if you want!

Where are they availible at??
Last I heard (yesterday) Tamiya America has not got them in. They are supposed to be on a container that Tamiya America will get on Thursday, but I was also told they didn't expect them to ship till later in the following week.
I also heard they wouldn't be legal till enough time had past once they got them in to get them out to the stores, so my guess is that meant about a week or 2. so my guess is that the Maryland race is questionalbe, the Seattle race is a possibility.
Before you Maryland guys go and change your cars over check with Tamiya on the legality of the Carbon chassis.

Why would I slam you??? You seem to always be expecting me to take shots at you or thinking I'm taking shots a Xray, but I'm not. I'm just stating facts.

And theres no one who would say that the parts for the Xray are cheap. And what I was saying was exactly what I typed, that Xray owners are less forgiving of imperfections, and they should be for what they pay for the stuff.

All we did was disagree about how much $$$ and what hop ups it takes to be competitive with a TA05, we're not arch enemies or anything.

Your reading too deep between the lines...theres no shots at Xray or its owners there.

Sometimes what people type IS really what they're saying.

Cool steve has them, but Tamiya america doesn't. Like I said call Tamiya and make sure before you put the new chassis, and find out they are not allowing it. not to mention he only hqsw the chassis not the other pieces.

So it's not an issue then? Then people, stop complaining about the tweaked chassis... and just be happy that after about six+ months of having the car (that's pretty long in the RC world), we already have graphite chassis parts available for it. Although it would have been good if the parts were perfect... I doubt anything is though.

To be honest, the original chassis is pretty good as it is... already proven competitive in races.

troy are you saying that the new TA05 chassis isn't legal in SIR TCS?

Hebiki

iTrader: (26)

yes troy.. do tell. because im NOT going to take apart my car to put the plastic tub for one race. i rather skip the Seattle TCS than swap chassis.

maybe fred will post?

Or I can lend you my car...

If they are on our self, or have been on our shelf, it should be. But them Tamiya makes the final call. I hope we see them by next weekend (3/17) I don't think it is aproblem for Seattle if we get them, I am mainly telling the guys at Maryland to be cautious. I had to take some parts off my TA05 at last years TCS cause they were at Tamiya america, but not out long enough to the hobby shops.

Hebiki

iTrader: (26)

yah right. you dont even lend anything to your brother in-law. and he's family!

its okay.. i can save the 47,000 frequent flier miles i used on my ticket for some other trip if the carbon bits arent legal for the Seattle TCS.

Chris... why back out? Is J.A. bringing his completely stock TA05 to SIR to race? Remember, you almost beat him at nats... What happenned to Juan anyway? Is he still racing? Cool fast guy...

Hebiki

iTrader: (26)

i wasnt after beating juan in nats you're the one intent on competing with him.

last i heard.. he's sold all his Tamiya stuff. oh yah.. sent you a PM.

and like i told troy.. im not reworking my TA05 for one race. no way. im WAY TOO LAZY for that.

back to our regularly schedule TA05 programming... my chassis has battery tape slots! DIALED
