Coolness. I want to add the Lambo to the menagerie too, but am also looking for an R34 to slap on the GT1 car. Trouble is, I've run the R35 Xanavi GTR, which as you say comes on such as the latest TB kit. I love how that car looks, but I found it rolled too much--was too tall compared to other such beloved bodies as the NSX and the slammed R34's. So thanks for the offer. OK, TCS dudes, somebody step up and grab it.

Christian, nobody better give you any s--t about running GT3. Seems like everybody now recognizes that those of us that were "slumming" or "sandbagging" in GT3 were trying to have some cheap, driving-skill-rather- than-best-motor-and-battery fun, and you got just as much right to run and try to go to Japan as anybody else. You were just running F1 before because you were warming up for something better to come along, right? Like you said, time to just line them cars up and have some fun.

Thanks Tom, Hopefully nothing stirs up but I think something may be coming.

Dude,
Stop drinking those NOS drinks and feeding the rest to your F1 and you wouldn't be so much on the edge!

Find a way to bottle that confidence and I'll be the first to buy a case of it!

You'd make a fortune!

According to the Driver's manual F1 needs a spec battery now and not just a ROAR approved battery, correct?

Rules said ROAR approved, Driver's manual says spec.
Driver's manual is the bible since it is the current list of rules?

Just want to be certain, thanks.

Christian the Pro (that confidence is at least there)? I don't know if I can ever thought of you as such. To me you're just that TAOB boy walking around saying "what's up izzy" while still growing armpit hair. Do you even have some now? (LOL). Seriously, you're a great driver and you should be after all these years... you know timmy right? but along great driving there is also strategy and preparation aaaannnnd a bit of luck which all of us deal with. When at first I learned you were driving F1 and the class is going to Japan this year, I said to myself right away, whooopps Christian gets to go this year, I hope Alex have saved up enough money for the trip. Why? because I thought with your driving (great) and experience (with F1, check!) and the way less entry F1 is going to get (strategy), your chances are super high! But now, with you switching to GT3, you're just another great driver among many hoping to get that .00001 second better finish than the next. We would love for you to be with us in GT3, punting our cars behind along the way. I would love to see you win with your dad because you guys just works so hard and nothings better to see than a kid getting a lollypop in his hands with smile from ear to ear. I wish you the best in Nats and hope you made the right decision. Now about being sponsored, this is such an old debate, Gordo is right, he is no D.Jun and he is racing Nats... wait are you even setting up and driving your own car or is it Steve the RC parts distributor, ehehee just kidding!

what's the c rating on those packs you mentioned? the higher c one will be better because it can provide higher current.

I believe this is the Rule Mr. Sherman was refering to:

Full factory sponsored and professional drivers are not eligible to participate in the TCS North American Finals. Drivers who have received 50% sponsorship deals from any RC company may ONLY race in the GT-1 class. Drivers who receive 50% deals from RC companies are banned from racing GT-2, GT-3 and MINI. You know who you are!!!

As for no comments about F1, probably because people knew that the "50/50" drivers would be allowed to run F1 as was the case with Mr. Arluck up North since GT-1 was not going to be a trip class.

At the end of the day, it is Tamiya's decision who to allow to compete in which classes and the driver and their family who is staking their conscience and their reputation if they are knowingly skirting the rules.

Good luck in whichever class you race.

Yes, by a bunch
