It has been years yes 6 years exactly since I have taken my touring cars out on a run! The last time was the TT01 nationals in Perth Western Australia early 2006! Spent a good week sorting out my trusty ex racer old banger NSX TT01 and Yokie MR4TC for a much needed overhaul. Boy was it to my surprise as a result of Malaysian humidity the chassis of both cars was riddled with fungus, batteries were totally dead (so updated to the new Li-Pos) and wires were all oxidised! Plus I had to help setup my (newly acquired through recent marriage to Mrs Hendroff - thanking her for the candid photos of us engrossed with long overdue RC fun yo!!) three little brother-in-laws new Kyosho TF5's a few days of burning the midnight oil resulted. But boy I have forgotten how much RC fun i've missed! A great weekend of much needed practice! Thanks for looking :)

@ Poul_F: Thanks mate! Indeed you're right, I got the cars as pressies for the boys for doing well in their school results so Mrs Hendroff was happy! So now I have family members to play RC with! Lols

Thankyou gentlemen! Yes looking at my little brother in-laws play RC reminded of myself when my uncle took me out buggy racing! And Tamiya Malaysia's indoor track is cool as it's based in the largest basement floor so it's not only huge, car park is indoors, air conditioned and best of all FREE yes FREE to all Tamiya and other RC users!

@ Crash Cramer: Yes nice signage I agree I want one too! Found out that most of their large signage were custom made. That huge lookin spray can is actually the mega sized RC motor/parts clearner spray Tamiya Malaysia imports from Japan meant to clean dirty 1/8th buggies. Way cheaper and economical and cleans way better too!
