edwin,
Tires/inserts/set-ups is a very subjective thing in racing. You may not like or your driving style may not suit the set-up of another person's car. My advice is to try all possible set-ups or look around to see what is commonly used at the race track as a base to start with.
As for the stock class, I do know most of the RC enthusiast but its difficult to tell someone that they r too good for this class and if i really do put the hammer down and say 'No!" then they will hate me or Tamiya for life. Moreover, some of them had already bought the car kit. Like what Bundyman said, water will find its own level, guess the top 10 in stock will be barred after the 1st year will be implemented.
Our 1U showroom will be ready by 1st March.
Trueno,
You are entitled only to GT
Oracle,
Thomas Tan will have to deal with me if he runs the stock class
Cheers.

By the way, Team Tamiya had a very successful outing in the MNC rd5 in Ipoh last sunday. Finishing 1st and 2nd in the stock both TA05s and 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the expert mods with 2 MSX and a TA05 respectively.
Looks like the TA05s are just as competitive as the others.
Cheers.

For stock, ONLY the transmitter n servo isn't closed. For the other two classes, transmitter, servo n esc isn't closed. Everything else is closed to Tamiya kits, parts n hop-ups. Right down to the screws and even inserts. A team of inspectors will be inspecting every car b4 each run.
Cheers.

edwin n oracle,
Tamiya original tires #50419 Radial tire , #50454 Slick tire and #50810 Semi slick tire can be used only in this class. Of course we hope the original tires that comes with the kit will work so that cost of racing is minimised. But then again this doesn't always happen therefore the other 2 optional tires may have to come into play. Combination of inserts n tires is also very crucial for a good setup. Thats the fun of racing.
Cheers.

tornado,
If we need to we will. By the way, stripping down the car will not change the setup. At the TAC in Singapore last year, Norazam's car was stripped down many times cos he was constantly clocking the lap times no one could achieve. Believe me, the entire car was stripped apart. He had to re-assemble the entire car numerous times.
Cheers

Chee Yong,
Gosh !! .......each time you guys strip, the chances of the plastic parts to strip the screw threads increases. We may have to change the parts un-necessarily woh............geeezzzzz......anyway.......if we wanna join the TAC we will have to abide by it, like it or not.

tornado,
rules are rules. Anyway, we will only do a thorough check on cars which are suspicious otherwise it will be a routine check. Also, not everyone is that "lucky".
