looks like a ton of oversteer, which could be a good time in the dirt! steer it with the throttle!

It looks good in the video ,it looks like it plants the front while the ass end slides around beautifully. I also looked the inner fender things

Turtle how wide do you recommend for lanes in for a rally track , I was thinking like 18"-24" for the tight sections and around 36" on open sections to allow some passing . I plan on running 2 cars at a time

Price will drop after a month or so. Introductory pricing is always a bit inflated.

Sounds perfect to me. We built the tracks 18-24 inches wide and as they get used they end up being widened a bit just by driving.

just for comparison, Tamiya list the Subaru XV-01 @ $379 & Tower has it @ $329. Tamiya list the Subaru DF03ra @ $334 & Tower $205.

Yup! Hurry up and wait... If you can. I've been teatering on the rally fence for a while but give me a toyoter body and I'm sold.

Tower also has the Tamiya Toyota 86 body set listed but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a WRC Yaris

Looks like everything is sealed pretty well on it. Does the kit come with aluminum shocks, the plastic CVA's or the friction dampers? The pics show aluminum ones, but Tamiya's video show black plastic.
