Tamiya Asia Cup (TAC) 2008 which is held in 1 Utama from 5th to 7th September... There are three categories... Buggy, M-chassis and GT... There are a few countries competing in this year TAC... Countries such as Korea, Philippines, Lebanon, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and of course Malaysia... It is a team/country competition... The winning country will be given the opprtunity to compete in Japan for World Championship and it is wholly sponsor by Tamiya... Too bad there is no drifting competition... The reason for this is because it is a very new hobby outside of Japan... Maybe who knows, there will be drifting competition in the near future... Keeping my finger cross...

Today is only for practising... Getting familiar with the track layout... Qualifying will be tomorrow and on Sunday it will be the final... Hopefully our racers from Malaysia will made us proud...

This is M-chassis... It uses two wheel drive instead of four wheel drive like other RC cars... It comes with either front or rear wheel drive... It is also smaller compare to 1:10 RC cars...

This is GT class... It is using the normal 1:10 chassis... It is the fastest if compare to M-chassis and buggy...

Notice the huge ramp, it is being use for buggy class...

All these ramps will only be use for buggy... GT and M-chassis won't be jumping from the ramp...

This is the pit area... Place for racers to charge their batteries and fine tune their cars...

Just look at all the equipments...

Bought it many years ago... It is from Tomy... The RC car is very very small... I mean tiny... You can actually run it around virtually anywhere...

This is the chassis...

That's the motor... See how tiny it is...

This is the rear axle... The one on the left is design for drifting... But it is very hard to drift because the chassis is not 4WD...

Just like the real thing... It comes with different compound... I got hard, medium and soft compound... If you want more traction, go for the soft compound...

My limited edition Nissan Skyline bodies...

My Hachiroku...

This is my toolbox... It is made by Tomy... Specially design for these RC cars...

Last weekend I went back to my hometown to celebrate my father's birthday... We have lunch at a restaurant in Segenting... Segenting is a very famous place in Batu Pahat... It is famous for temples and a bridge that we call Lover's Bridge (Qin Ren Qiao)...
