I suppose they could address some maintenance issues like using a split center diff mount for faster maintenance on the center diff.

Yeah I have driven alot of cars and owned alot, none have matched this car.

Me too; had some very frustrating cars; 8ight 2.0; xray 808 -- actually kicked the Xray out of mid-air once -- The MP9 has been such a great fit for my driving style.

Yeah I drove or owned,Losi 2.0, MBX6, RC8 and RC8.2, Serpent, Agama, D8, DNX408...etc . Drove the Agama and RC8.2 just a few months back. They were all ok at best....RC8.2 was decent ,but loose under heavy throttle and not as stable as the Kcar, and Agama was just a Losi to me. Drove like one....had better steering, but nothing like the K car. Serpent is/was the best car other then the Kcar. If I have to move away from the Kcar for some reason, serpent is back in the garage. DNX was the worst car BY FAR

Thanks

100% true story; I lobbed it gently in the air; and kicked it as if it were a football. Worst car in the history of bad cars.

I think you're looking for the "TAMIYA TRF 801X Fast enough to win the worlds" thread! HAHHA -- JK.

All kidding asside; Tamiya is a good car -- very similar geometry to the MP9. I think they would do better if they could get more LHS presense. I've never seen one on the shelf at any of the LHSs in my city.
