Took the pro module equipped TA05 out today with a Silver can to test run it, racing, the MSX struggled, light rain coupled with an offroad meet last night made the track very tough, the MSX was extremely TAILY!
The TA05
ON RAILS!
Couldn't unsettle the back end, it just held it's line and stuck, not in the least bit taily! Be interesting to see how it goes with a bit more pace in there, but I was able to hold off Stock cars on every part of the track bar the main straight! Comment from another racer was that it turned in so easily and didn't get loose on exit
Only down side, a droop screw on one of the Pro Mod arms, MOVES, I replaced it, still does it
Applied some Loctite 222 (Screwlock) and so far so good.

For anyone looking for a kickass TA05 w/ all available hop-ups excluding the alum. motor brace, TONS of spares
, more hop-ups, NIP Tamiya bodies w/extra wing sets, NIP tyres/wheels/inserts, just a CRAPLOAD of stuff- look me up & make an reasonable offer. I want to get rid of everything all at once but I'll be open to part items out...well maybeI'm sticking with 1/12-scale though & a high-end sedan & maybe a heli
If that really happened....who wants to buy a NIB TA05R cheap?

My view on the TA05MS:
- Wondering why was there a need for TA05MS after the recent launched of
1. TRF 415 MRE
2. TRF 415 MSXX
3. TA-05R
From these latest pics, we can clearly seen that the TA05MS is actually a production version of the Tamiya 30th anniversary car with bits of TRF415
MRE, MSXX retained.
Back to Darkseid comments:
There is no need to join the hype about TA05MS if you already a owner of the above chassis and you are happy with them because Tamiya need to come up new products every month to have you go out and slide that 'plastic card'...

TA05R
TA05R first impression:
I took the TA05R for its first shackedown run at Tamiya America last Saturday. stock out of the box, except i went to yellow or medium springs, ran a p2k2 left over practice motor. 350Z Nismo JDM body w carbon wing,
I'm coming from a tbo2, it was soo smooth. and accelerated very fast coming out of the corners.
I was using 4.5 mm ground clearance, sides dragged on sweeper, will go to 5.0 mm and will go to yellow or medium sway bars when they are available.
I tried the small stock wing, turned in very nice and snapped most corners, although from time to time it would loop out. going back to big wing.
I forgot to set the tweak and droop, the car was awsome inspite of myself.
I never had so much fun with a first out of the box run.
later,
wn

Too much chassis.... I think the MS and IFS along with the 934RSR is a ploy to get us to pay for TRF416's development costs.
