*My B44 got me hooked also, I had to get another saddle pack car, I picked the tamiya 501x
because I've been a tamiya fan for years*

That didnt stop me I wanted a yokomo car also, but i didnt want a yokomo buggy because
i already had 2 of them, so i chose a yokomo touring car instead.

Here's a pic of my touring car.
Yokomo YR4-M2
*the only touring car made that I know of with a saddle battery design*
So you know why I bought it, to switch from buggy to touring car alot easier.

Many people dont like this car, but it drives really good for what it is.
The small shocks are fine, because I ran it like that already.

I threw my 6.5 novak brushless motor and GTB in it for the heck of it
for testing on a large oval go-cart track. I hit about 50mph easy,
of coarse this was about a month ago.

I dont really think it matters what shock oil you use because it's not
like your jumping it or anything, it's not a buggy.

I'll try different oils in the japanease shocks so I can set this car up for
carpet racing in the fall.

Here's the large oval I tested it on.

I bought this car from tamiya club from a guy named Shodog.
I'm glad I did because I can race a yokomo for a change of pace.

A buddy of mine "skipper" couldnt beileve it when he saw this thing.
"That yokomo car will be great for carpet racing"

If you can find one of these go for it, they can be picked up realitivley cheap.
If you cannot find this then get the new foam spec TC5F.
