Uh !!....Have you read the TCS rules !!?? The object of Spec type racing whether it's Tamiya or Trinity is to provide a means of drawing new people in to the hobby and/or provide a less "intense" form of racing for existing racers. As for your comments about Tamiya parts.....I'll stack any of my cars up against anything else out there as far as quality is concerned. I've owned plenty of different cars and will say that each has it's own positives and negatives but I've rarely seen any of the major manufacturers supply a truly poor quality car. Bad performance is another story !! I'm not a big supporter of Trinity but I believe in the goals and intent of the Tamiya Challenge Series or any other Spec type program.
