At the end of the day I think their biggest gripes were in the "built per the instructions spec" rule where the Euro Truck's should not have the shock bodies packed with grease to add additional dampening and they sure as hell are not installed inverted. But whatever......not my pig not my farm......

Regardless......what I DO love about Tamiya is their variety of vehicles and platforms that allow for easy entry to racing and for those of us who can and do afford some of the fancier and more spendy platforms the Tamiya TTs offer really fun and close racing in a somewhat spec class. I love our informal "Tamiya tub-chassis class"....TT-02s, TT-01s/Euro Trucks/ M chassis FWD etc......if we have enough for separate classes for TT and Euro, great, if not......we run them together and have a blast. As you mentioned I have come a LONG way with this TT-02......and honestly it scratches my "on-road" itch for now.

I have a LOT of $ invested in off-road right now with 2 TLRs and building a Schumacher L1R..........

That being said, I see a Euro Truck coming,......I mean $160 with motor and ESC seem's like a no brainer.......$50-60 for a servo, $45 for receiver and go race another class.....
Agreed on the Euro truck being a box stock class.. I am surprised the race director let folks get away with that..
