Tamiya TRF pricing

Is it just me, or does Tamiya not seem to be keeping up much with their pricing as compared to their product offering? I know they are a premium product, and they are made in Japan, not China, but...

I have the tamiya weight kit that replaces the battery holders (#84305). It seems to help with handling. In my case I found the car a lot less front-heavy which was good for our Winter indoor...

Taomo,

Where are you adding the shims to the shocks to prevent leaking oil?
