Demory has taken care of stuff in the past when the woMan is gone. They have all the numbers on file. I need to get some track time on one.

Hey Rod you seen this yet? Will be ready for the 7 Aug Regional

I also got that upper carbon bumper upper-plate from my Surikarn, fitted perfectly.

Planning to put up photos if you'd like me to...

It's all decals.

Finally got the chance to run it at the carpet track. Finished 2nd overall and I was very pleased with this car at factory configuration. I will loosen up the diffs a little, and it really needs an upper deck.

Im so happy with this car, i am running it in box stock form for a magazine review and am very imppressed i have been able ot hang with some more fancied chassis and racers, and even went within a couple of seconds of my PB set with my 415MS, this is on a tight med grip indoor asphalt track running stock. I normally run mod but not many mod runners so have been running it in stock.

Cant wait to add the Tamiya Hop Ups to see how it goes, just need to lose the extra 40 grams of fat its lugging around.

Default TA05

Rayman:

I got my TA05 all the way from Japan a week after it hit the hobby shops, all the stocks were finished off in the first week because they were all pre-ordered, The second week a relative of mine got one for me and sent it right away, door-to-door.

My EVO3 Surikarn for sale? if the price is right I guess...

Good luck to TA05 owners!

Purchased my TA05 abt twoweeks ago. There are two here running in the asphalt track. Their performance "converted " a couple of the top racers...and now they are awaiting the arrival of the kits.
Sure glad I bought one
Even the owner of the lhs is building one.
