RC rallying... Nowadays is quite hard to find a chassis that is specific for rallying... Fear no more... This is one of the latest car that is going to be release by Tamiya... This car uses modify DF03 chassis and is call DF03RA... With this new chassis, it enable the car to sit higher and uses longer stroke suspension... The reason for this is because rallying is mostly off road and longer suspension travel is a must... And obviously it uses 4WD and shaft drive... All the drive train gear are enclose so you don't have to worry about dust or pebble when you take it out for a spin...

This chassis comes with 2 types of rear suspension arms which wheelbase adjustment, enabling fitting of short wheelbase (251mm) bodyshell... Besides that, this chassis comes with 3 different gear ratio... 8.22:1, 7.90:1 and 7.16:1... It also includes two spur gears (78T and 75T) as well as two pinion gears (29T and 32T)... So there are plenty of gear ratio for you to choose... This chassis is a must for those die hard rally fans... Look no further...

TB03D... Conventional suspension...

TB03... With inboard front suspension (IFS)...

Tamiya is going to release this chassis soon... This chassis is from the TB family which uses shaft drive instead of belt... The "D" in TB03D denotes for drift... The difference between TB03D and TB03 lies in the front suspension... TB03D uses conventional suspension setup while TB03 uses inboard front suspension (IFS) setup... This chassis comes with 18 spoke metal plated wheels with Tamiya Super Driftech tyres... Besides that, the body is ready to be customize with a rich assortment of Hop Up and drift specific parts such as new side mirror, intercooler, exhaust and brake disc shape wheel hub...

Actually I don't know what this call... So I just call it Chinese Biscuit... But what I know is that this stall is very famous for this... There are 3 types of flavour... Coconut, peanut and tao sha as in Hokkien or red bean for those who don't know... I like coconut best... They do everything manually... Not a single machine in sight... So there is some traditional flavour in it... Hehe... That's what I feel... Each chinese biscuit cost RM0.70... This stall is located in Sungai Buloh New Village also known as Xin Chun in Mandarin... The address is 345, Jalan Besar Sungai Buloh, 47000 Selangor... In my opinion, it is really worth it to try cause it is really hard nowadays to find something so traditionally made...Besides that, it tastes good as well...

I always like XRAY products... Their quality and design is just spectacular... To me, XRAY cars are just like Aston Martin in the automotive world... Sleek and sexy... This is the latest incarnation of the famous T2 platform... This chassis is call T2 009... The most significant difference between T2 009 and all the other models before it lies in the colour of the anodized aluminum parts... All previous XRAY products uses silver aluminum whereas for T2 009, XRAY opted for striking orange...

TRF801XT truggy is Tamiya first competitive truggy... The TRF801XT is a 1/8 scale competition level assembly race truck kit designed and tested in Southern California... The highly efficient drive system comes from the optimised position of the front and rear propeller shafts... The drive line is virtually straight which offers the most efficient drive line possible in its class... The chassis has plenty of adjustability to fine tune it for the most demanding of race tracks across the globe...
