Tamiya TGR 1/8th scale

I was interested in talking with others who have one of these TGR'S.....If you have one let me know what you think about it!

Hi Todd. Yep, got one of these, is a stunning car. What annoys me with it is that there is no undertray for it, i've had to make a lexan one for it. On my first run, a stone got caught in the 2 speed gear..... not pleasant. It is really for circuit use only, due to the very low ride height and suspension settings. The engine is a corker, and the kit itself is of very high quality. They are now discontinued in the UK, I don't know about anywhere else. Have you run yours yet?

Yea, but very little. I have a new Fantom FR.15 2003 model engine on it. Seems really fast, handles well. You are right though, the ride height leaves nothing underneath of the car. I have a Toyota GT1 body and a Subaru Imprezza, both HPI Bodys...
