Someone breathed new life into the M-05 thread? That shows you how much attention I'm giving this thing. I'm just sticking to my interests. and the M-05 isn't among them. I never did like that car.

Regarding standardized rules, like TCS or the fairly regulated Australian mini rules: That would be great. It would be so nice to have everyone on a level playing field and to make this about pure fun and excellent driving skill. The only two problems are A) no one wants to be the tech guy, especially at a club race and B) Tamiya can't seem to keep parts supplied, even for the relatively small Canadian market. I can't imagine what a shit-show it would be if we needed our local supplier (who is unfortunately hog-tied by the national distributor) to bring in the spec tire/wheel sets for our entire club, plus spares to keep us all well heeled.

It sure would be nice to play by a set of simple rules that were adhered to zealously by all involved and were supported just as vigorously by the manufacturer. Sadly, it's not going to happen here.
