Your best bet is to contact your local club to see what classes and rules they run. Most clubs use Facebook these days so that's where I'd start.

If only one screw is stripped in a given part, then you can remove the other screws and rotate the part.

To clarify; TC is two sets of slicks and two sets of wets, so a change in weather conditions is covered. It's very rare to use all 4 sets. Normally wets sit in the pit box, doing a run here and there...

You don't want buggy to go to stock motors. This will increase costs, not reduce them. And it also increases the need for scrutineering.

For the stock class at TC nationals we check voltage before...

For high grip (fresh EoS or CRC carpet) then metal 2gear with thick oil, 100-150k seems to be the go-to setup.

For more normal club level grip, the kit graphite gears will do the job. The metal...

I believe Yokomo have been sold; the founder has moved on. That's probably the reason for Masami leaving.

Xray T4 16/17 Solid Aluminium Chassis

As title, I'm after a solid alu chassis from a T4 '16 or '17.

Not bothered by a few marks, but needs to be straight and flat.
