Got an old Tamiya TA04-R which has been performing very well since 2003 Seems like I've found a setup I can run (double one-ways!!). But I just recently picked up a graphite chassis for my TA04 and I've finished converting the car over today. Just by picking it up as is seems very solid! Can't feel any flexing But the car is around 20grams heavier Now hopefully it doesn't change the drive characteristics too much.

Well, I still have both of my micros.

Kind of reluctant to sell them off. One has a prototype Penguin chassis it in (rare). But in reality, it really shouldnt be on a track due to the design over the current production version (stonger/better).

So for now, im hanging onto them. I have considered selling off my HPI Savage a few times over, but havent' dealt it yet. So I have the cars to sell if I wanted to put the money towards something new to race.


Well, when that meeting finally happens, we will see what classes are leftover and what new ones get voted in. Just have to wait and see. But I could see the 1/12 going as well. I think Henry's pan car is on his webpage for sale for $150. So if 1/12 hung around, I might just be interested in his old car.

Started with 1/18, moved to 1/14, next 1/12...haha.

Actually, racing is going to start up when 2nd Semester starts and I think it is going to be tougher then what im going through right now. So chances are I won't even be running this year (next year?). Save my $$ for TTC tokens and gas and books.

However, I do still want to get out w/ my Recoil to run it with the new motor that I now wasted the coin on.

I say just get into 1/10 instead of going from 1/18 to 1/14 to 1/12 :P I still prefer 1/10 because there is more to tuning it. My objective is to try and keep up with the A-Main guys with my 6 year old chassis

Where are you going to school and what are you taking?

I'm out of school well doing some masters stuff and still can't find enough time to run my RC at the track.... well NewMarket is kind of far for me too.

HAH ... yeah, 1/10 is probably the way to go. At least it would be one class that "might" not be discontinued in the club.

Yeah I tried to do that with my wheely king axles and crawling over the summer time (to try and beat the ax10 guys). Didn't work out tho.

George Brown Casa Loma campus for HVAC/R. Three year tech program.

Yeah, im only a half hour away from Newmarket and I still find it is out of the way even when I have the time..hah. I would like to run, but normally I end up doing some catch-up on them instead.

Last year my TA04R was keeping up with most of them during practices. Probably going to race it this year. And I'm looking into getting a Tamiya Mini chassis used. Seems like $70-80 you can find one.

Well at least it sounds like you're in a decent tech program. There will always be needs for the HVAC trades work.

Any words on when the season going to start and the rules? Did you go to the meeting?
