Tamiya Asia Cup Qualifying Series 2006
An Introduction to the Tamiya World Cup
Dear Sir,
After an extended absence from Malaysia, Tamiya and the Tamiya Asia Cup series will be making its re-entry and debut in the market. The Tamiya Asia Cup is the gateway to the Tamiya World Cup held every year in Shizuoka Japan at the beginning of winter. It is a prestigious event that brings champions from around the world to compete against one another in fair competition of various classes. Former champions include 2002 IFMAR World Champion Surikarn and current IFMAR World Champion Marc Rheinard.
The spirit of fair competition is the embodiment of the Tamiya Cup series. All rules and regulations have been carefully thought out to ensure that no one individual has an unfair advantage over another. As such a clear copy of all the rules and regulations of the various classes are hereby attached.
In its debut year, Stargek will run a 5 leg race and will be providing the overall first place finishers of each class a ticket to the Tamiya Asia Cup Finals, held this year in Bangkok Thailand. The Ticket also includes lodging. 1st and 2nd runner up will be eligible to go based on cost borned by themselves. There will also be many attractive prizes, including car kits, for each round of the series to be given away.
We are looking to promote the hobby and racing in a fun and cost effective manner. We strongly believe that the rules created for the Tamiya Series race will be able to provide even equipment that shall result in the skills of the drivers being the deciding factor.
In summary, have fun and happy racing. We look forward to have the winners carry the country colours and do us proud in the regional finals in Thailand.
In Best Regards I Remain

Chee Yong....I know how to identify them too. Not that I'm trying to be funny. Perhaps I've not been clear with my question with apology. Actually what I meant was "....are other brand's Ti screws allowed". Anyway.....no need to reply this. I got the answer between the line already. 
.............so, do you have Tamiya Ti screws in stock ?? How muchie ? ...............

Tornado,
You got it right on sir. I only have aluminium screws (blue) in stock now. Will be more complete when the showroom is up. However, i can always order for you.
jonest,
The actual TAC checks on everything! right down to the screws n even O-rings! I was just as surprised as you are when I was at the TAC Singapore this year. So, its better to be strict on the rules right from the beginning. Cos we intend to bring the actual TAC to Malaysia soon. We need to be ready by then.
Cheers
