this is the first conversion kit tamiya have ever done for a competition touring car.please get you facts write.i have NEVER seem a tamiya break wisbones or huibs or even turnbuckles,titanium or aluminium.
the onlty thing ive seen is grub screws come loose from the spur gear mount.ive had that and so as adam rogers whilst on his way to a national win.
please dont slate cars you probly never driven.
thing is people will pay the price for the tamiya and conversion,because they no its good.
in the uk there is atleast 3-4 drivers i can think of running the tamiya at nationals and making top 15.
before there were none,and one of them has gone from a factory backed driver to being independent to run the tamiya.
he has just won a uk national race,the ko grand prix at west london race way.
well done adam by the way hehe
