Hey all,

I am considering replacing the standard Tamiya TGS (1/10 scale) chasis with
an upgraded lightweight chasis.
My concern is whether all the components from the factory assembled nitro
car transplant to a new chasis???

I want to do this in the view of upgrading all the parts over time to create
a higher performance car...
Also considering just starting a new project and keeping the Tamiya running
until finished...

Last week while at the local hobby shop (RC Hobby's) I saw a kick ass truck
with a great looking engine...
Any opinion's on the best way to go would be appreciated re; car / truck /
comparative costs?

I originally bought the Tamiya off a friend as it became too much
maintanence for a lazy young lad.
It cost him $360 and I got it for $180 and thought it would be a fun hobby
for a while but have become so addicted to all aspects from driving to
pulling it apart for maintenance that I cant see this being a short lived
faze as I want to get a decent car / truck and start racing at the local
track...

ps: Great Newsgroup
