I was using sarcasm with my last post lads, i said 'if' the car is supposed to be crap according to some peoples comments made on here, however i am more than happy with my new car, i never thought for a million years i would run a Tamiya, dont know why but im glad ive got one, its the bomb!

Any changes for the better will make me like it more!

car certainly doesn't look like it lacks any steering.

tamiya have made pink wheels for the 201x, not sure if they make the 4wd fronts however, maybe he personally dyed them himself.

excellent thanks!

I wonder if these rims have fitment issues like the black and yellow tamiya rims, apparently tamiya rims are too tight of a fit on their own cars

Tamiya rims fit fine, all you do first time you use the fronts is line the hex up and then tighten the nut to push the hex in the wheel over the hex on the axle!

You know if you have it right, because if so it is only tight for about half a turn of the nut then it loosens again once the hex pops over the fitment!

Exactly what Dave said. Found this strange at first but it's just the way to mount them first time.
Tamiya supply a pamflet in the box with the instructions for this.

It's the same for all wheel colors btw.

According to the description of the video it was a race shortly after the 502 was released and all eyes where on a Tamiya vs Kyosho battle.

Maezumi leads with the 502 with Adachi chasing in the Kyosho.

So i guess the car you are refering to is a Kyosho
