No lah, that's only for the TAC qualifier races. For  normal play, tamiya car can already lah.

[KoE]

even the shock oil riiiigggghhttttt  

[Chee Yong]

Yes sir. Only Tamiya.

[sim600]

Cool. Thinking of coming over in the weekend.
The rule is Tamiya only right?

[Chee Yong]

Hi guys,

Our carpeted indoor track should be ready by the weekend. The size of the track is gonna be reasonable. Longer than Subang Speedway but a little narrower. We use to race mods on tracks half the size. So it shouldn't be a problem. Come over n test it out n give us feedbacks on how we could improve on it.

Thanks.

Cheers.

[KoE]

to put a little size perspective into the proposed track.... it's slightly longer than Hobby Haven's Subang Speedway but narrower. Due to building construction, it also inherits the potential danger of having thick walls on 2 side and quite big pillars on the other 2 sides   (something novice drivers at SS won't really appreciate LOL)

[sim600]

Hey guys, Chee Yong showed me the space reserved for the permanent track. Don't expect it to be big like Glenmarie or Titiwangsa lah (1 Utama rental wor) but for 1:10 touring, it'll be quite tight and interesting. Not sure how the actual track will look like. The space is a bit long and narrow. Maybe for Tamiya M series cars, or for a mini 1:16 scale Frog, it'll be just about the right size.

Sorry didn't take any pics, so you guys go check it out yourself.

24/7

ya really want to do 24/7? LOL! the building shuts down at night laaa  

[Chee Yong]

Yep. Its a permanent track, carpeted, indoor with air conditioned pits.

Cheers

[M_Syafiq]

We will also have an indoor carpeted RC track with an air-conditioned pit area.

24/7?i mean...even when there's no race?

[Chee Yong]

Hi Guys,

   I would like to inform all that TAMIYA UNDERGROUND will be starting operations on the 15/3/06. Nothing fancy. Official opening will be later and I will inform all again.

Address: Tamiya Underground. B25, Basement 2, 1Utama Shopping Centre, Bandar Utama, 47800 PJ.

We will be carrying a full range of Tamiya products. We will also have an indoor carpeted RC track with an air-conditioned pit area.

Thanks.

Cheers.

[sim600]

Thanks for clarifying things.

I'll consider entering the buggy race if the price of the buggy is right
(also the price of the approved motor, battery packs, Tamiya bearings, and maybe those nice blue shocks and spring set too.)

[Chee Yong]

sim,

Any sort of esc maybe used for buggy n 4WD GT including reversible. However, if an accident is caused due to a reversing car in the midst of a race, the driver will be penalised.

Battery connectors from esc to battery must be standard type tamiya connectors in all classes. Connectors from esc to motor maybe changed for both buggy n GT class whereas for stock must remain with the tamiya bullet type connectors.

Tamiya do make shock oils which are color coded.

Cheers

[sim600]

I understand the rules are very strict about hop-ups being tamiya, including screws and O-rings.  

What about shock oil? Tamiya doesn't seem to make any shock oil in standard kinwald weights

[M_Syafiq]

mayb the modification is for racer who dun use tamiya esc/esc that dun use tamiya style connector
is it cy?

[sim600]

Chee Yong,

Are reversible speed controllers allowed in buggy and GT? Thanks.

Also, under general rules, it says no modifying the battery connectors but in the specific rules, it says you can change to other connectors as long as you leave the wires at least 3cm long. Please clarify this for us.

Thanks.
