Yup its a fun car and will when i have finished it even better.

I suppose its down to what you like, me personally the Tamiya shocks are weak, and bend if you crash, which happened to me. The shaft is fine, the body is bent big time, and it wasnt even a fast crash.So I replaced with the trusted Associated shocks, as they never have let me down.

I didnt say that Tamiya copied, but the design is much better. Ok there are a lot of similarities between the cars, but the single chassis makes this superior compared to the 3 part chassis (now Yokomo did copy this design from another manufacturer).

There is nothing wrong with the 501x shocks, they are an even better design compared to B44 shocks which are good.
The design is so good you dont have to rebuild them that often.

At least you admit this is the funnest car to drive on the market.
I have to agree with that last quote.
