Thanks....thinking of getting one.....just would like to hear some opinions!!!

My experience with the many Tamiya kits I've built is to try the kit default setup first. They seem to put a lot of thought and testing into that. I just raced my IFS-R for the first time Sunday in two classes: 17.5 Sedan and RCGT (RCGT is 17.5 on HPI X-pattern tires with a realistic body). High-bite outdoor asphalt. I never touched the setup from the default -- it was absolutely dialed and I was smoother, faster, and more competitive than ever before.

Build it very carefully to the kit box setup and go from there.
