I won't make it out there tonight. Probably next week though. My charger still hasn't shown up yet and I need to buy some batteries and one of those circuit packs. Gotta prep for the next Tamiya race too so its gonna be a busy week. 
Anyone know what the difference is between the FRP and carbon t-plates? They are both available in soft, hard, etc so does it come down to durability?

Frp t-plate is fiber glass and is kind of translucent. It's about the same stiffness as the small carbon for side to side but a bit softer up and down. I think we all are using the small carbon t-plate from the circuit pack. I have plenty of batteries and an extra charger so you could have raced.
Which tamiya race are you going to?

I picked up some batteries, a new body and some parts to convert mine to MM today. I haven't even raced and already investing lots of money.

My family does the Tamiya Mini 4wd races at Tracks Hobbies. It's a lot of fun. The next race is going to be nuts will all the kids from the classes coming.

Ah I see. Well good luck and have fun on the next Tamiya mini race.
Thank's for the explanation. That's probably the best I've seen.
