I didn't think so. # racing has great additions to tamiya cars but they can't compare when they try to replicate the actaul parts.
I agree with you, mostly. 3Racing does make some good parts. (CV axles, hardened rear axles...) They also make some total crap. (Lower control arms, steering knuckles)
They've got their place and a better price point than Tamiya. Tamiya does tend to use MUCH higher quality materials, particularly when it comes to aluminum.
This actually has me wondering: Why doesn't Tamiya offer cooling fans for the cars, rather than really ineffective heat sinks?
