Hey Joe , great to see that you are in here. Hope everything it going better with you now. Sorry. Cool I have 2 sets of the TRF shocks. Had to move the racing to Arroyo Grande High School. Got noise complaints. As far as the racing at the shop it cant get much worse then my 3 year old playing with the cooper in there. Lets say it has a slight toe problem. LOL am amazed how tough these little cars area. What shock oil should I use? and what springs? outside and carpet. I bet just about anything would work. I have been using the friction shocks and some old hand me down x patterns with the foam coming out. I just juice them up and let it rip. Joe have you raced at the Tamiya Cup before? Also ordered the Tamiya Castrol Jaguar IMSA GTP car. bring back some great memories.
