Hey Neil,
What's up, this George, Rod is in the garage building his Evo4, just a week before the KO Prop GP. Yup, school was in session yesterday at Tamiya America, and master Dave Jun gave his padawan a good lesson, not once but 5 times. Looks, like Rod has hit terminal velocity with the 415 and is has done the switch. Some how he's convinced that the TRF41x series is not for him, since he asn't won a major race with it, so back to the Evo series. Edgar was there too, and his Evo4 looked really good with a mod. Until he threw in a Tamiya 23T, without a setup change, and it went from to good to WTF. All in all, it was a good day at Tamiya America, even Tom Kahl and I did some F201 testing, with some interesting results and food for thought. But yeah, speaking with the master, the car is definitely a major step forward in the Tamiya Evo series. The 415 is still a very capable car, that was proven with Corey's win during one and only throw down of the day with a mix field of Evo's and 415's in varying hop-op stages.
